Effective time management is about taking control of your time. You can teach people how to treat you. Once you demonstrate respect and boundaries for your own time, your co-workers, clients, etc. will follow suit.
When you're busy and you can't just stop for that phone call or drop by visitor, speak up immediately: "Glad you called, but I'm working on a commitment. Can I get back to you at [specific time]?"
Don't expect the person calling or dropping in to read your mind. Say something if you can't talk right now, and follow up with the visitor later.
