Create Your Focus Bubble

October 20, 2009

The wonders of technology are a huge distraction at work—turn things off and tune in to the task at hand.

March 21, 2007

It is somewhat ironic, I suppose, that a geek such as I should be so late to the game on this, but I just got my first PDA/mobile phone. Quite exciting. I did use a Palm for a while, but I never liked the way it synced my appointments.
This, on the other hand, is far [...]
