Open plan offices are the bane of work requiring uninterrupted thought. I'd say buy a set of good on- or over-the-ear closed headphones and listen to music or soundscape to drown out the distractions when you really need to concentrate.

I do have closed headphones, but I'd never heard of soundscapes. Definitely seems like ambient music would help out, thanks!

No worries. If you like classical minimalism/ambient music, check out Erik Satie's work, specifically, his three Gymnopédies compositions for piano. If you've played Minecraft, you'll instantly recognize No.1[1].
