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.

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.
