For someone like me, who is constantly wired up (via WiFi in office, broadband/VPN/email at home and GPRS while elsewhere), work more or less becomes the only life you have. So it becomes very important that I at least don't feel lousy doing what I do everyday. Still, the information overload is tremendous. I have close to 330 subscriptions on my RSS reader, 30" of screen space across two monitors that still is not adequate to do all the multi-tasking that I want to do, and an uncomfortably high email volume.
The working environment is a concept that drasticallyally changed in the recent past. From the buttoned down, formals-only days of the past, a lot of companies have transitioned to much more relaxed and friendlier environments. This is, of course, crucial to milk the maximum productivity from your employee.
To end on a slightly digressive note, I have noticed that while working in a noisy office working with your headphones on and music playing at pretty loud levels actually help in concentrating more on what you do.

CNN Money has a brilliant cross between a slide show and feature story today called 'How I work' on a cross section of top executives and professionals. It is amazing to see how many of the top lot interviewed in it stay offline for most of the time. Some have not even sent a single e-mail in their lives. The numbers they talk are equally baffling, but one thing they have in common is a filtering mechanism. They have an innate knack to block out the insignificant and pull in only the ones from which value can be accrued.
