I was just looking for info about this when I came upon your blog post. I’m just visiting to say that I very much liked reading this post, it’s very clear and well written. Are you considering writing more on this? It appears like there’s more fodder here for more posts.

I look forward to further discussion into this topic as I am currently looking into adding value to my own position and our department as a whole. As the single buyer for our company, I’m often the stop gap for our sales and production force.

As noted by manager, we can get a lot done in the 7:00 hour before we technically open because we are free from interruption or distraction. Factor in the constant e-mails and phone calls and our 8-hour day could easily be spread out over ten works.

@ Sam: Thanks so much for taking the time to comment! What your reporting is fairly common, and I’ve been thinking more and more about ways to work through the institutional counterproductivity as opposed to the individual counterproductivity. I’ll be working these ideas out the next few days. ‘Making a Habit of Changing Habits’ works on this at the general level, but there’ll be more coming.

Thanks for bringing this topic back to the top.

This is a great piece. The office I work in uses e-mail for instant communication – versus talking on the phone or in person. E-mail has become almost counter-productive on a day to day basis.

Honestly, I would love to check e-mail only once or twice in a day but as today has proved this would simply not be possible for me. I have to respond to e-mails or other people fall to pieces.
