Describe how to best approach your colleague to get him to listen to your request
What will be an ideal response?
Answer: Your colleague is focusing on something else, which will likely prevent him from listening carefully. If you begin by describing your project in great detail, he will probably tune you out. Instead, briefly describe what you want in such a manner that he understands why you are communicating. To prevent him from objecting that he is too busy, you may also add "I don't think it will take much time, but if it does, I'll be glad to help you on your project, too." Offering to return the favor by helping him on his current project or at some future point will help overcome his resistance. At this point, your colleague will be ready to listen.
