How Your Office Kills Productivity With Interruptions And Distractions

I’m a fan of the virtual office and passive communication.  Here, Jason Fried of 37signals agrees.

• On long hours: “It’s not because there’s 50 hours of work to do, it’s because you don’t work at work anymore.”
• “If you want to get things done, you have to get rid of the interruptions.”
• “Managers are the biggest problems because their whole world is built around interruptions.”
• “[Interruptions are an] arrogant move … [they communicate] whatever I have to ask you is more important than what you’re doing.”
