Works well! Been doing this the past few months.

Love this new category (I’m assuming it’s new) of “Realized by…” Great idea for “lightbulb” moments.

Back when people had individual offices (and land lines), my biggest productivity secret was telling people I’d be working from home – and then sneaking into my office and shutting the door.

I love that!

The folks at my company have been advocating that for a long time- so we put together awayfind.com. The gist is it gives you a way to be reached over SMS without having to give out your cell to anyone. -just a URL instead.

I’m enjoying the new labeling system you all have going with LINKS , PHOTOS, QUOTES , and now INSIGHTS . Seems to be a good way to keep content on the blog without having to put out 500 words. I should really try something like that.

So Jay, basically, you lived in a world where people had both individual offices with doors and the possibility to work from home ? What star-coordinates it that ;) ?
