Trouble doing work during normal business hours cause people keep bothering me: staff questions, ASAP requests, status updates, so distracting. I work from home, should I log off? appear away?

Omg I feel like you are speaking for me 😭 the only time I can focus is night time. But I have to appear offline, because the foreign offices like to chase me at night..

Yeah, what you are describing only gets 'worse' as you advance but you do start to step away from the detail workpapers. I write off a good half to three quarters of my day as meetings and helping team members with questions.

Instead of away... I put my messenger on Do Not Disturb... then only check my email a few times a day. It really helps.

Block time on your calendar to get work done and set times to check email or address requests. Inform ppl when you don't have availability and suggest a realistic time to have their request handled. I had to inform a director that I wasn't avail for 3 data at least but I addressed it when I said I would and there was no issue. You have to speak up.
