I relate to this very much. I haven't done this in a while, but I found at one point that offsetting my day by a few hours earlier helped me carve a block of time where I was virtually guaranteed to be undisturbed for a few hours. I would wake at 5am, be at the office at 6 and have the place to myself until 9am or so.

That sounds nice.
My house is like a train station and my work desk is in the hallway. I just put headphones on and pretend to be deaf.
I was just saying that is what, at one point, I did to solve the interruptions issue. You mileage may vary, Your circumstances are different, etc.
Pretending to be deaf is also a good strategy.
Pretending to be blind and dumb is good too.
I use that one pretty much every time I'm out in public.
