In recent years, long work hours and overtime work have become a social problem in
Japan. Therefore, attention is focused on improving the work style in Japan. In particular,
there is a demand for improving the efficiency of desk work. In this paper, we aim to clarify
the relationship between work and concentration, and the influence of interruptions on the
concentration state and the number of working hours (work time) to realize appropriate time
allocation in desk work. In the experiment, staff members of the Toyama prefectural office were
recruited as subjects to obtain data on the work times and concentration state. We use a device
called Spire to determine the concentration state. Spire can acquire respiration information. As
a result, it was found to be necessary to continue work for 10 min or more in order to achieve
high concentration and work efficiency. However, it was found that if concentration was not
attained within 10 min from the start of work, it was necessary to interrupt the work. It was
also found that interruption did not affect the work time or concentration state.
