Productivity
Today I am not working at my companies main office but another location that has just me there. It got me thinking some about productivity.<br />
<br />
One of the chief problems when I work at our main office, is distractions. There is always somebody calling, walking up and asking you something, people behind or beside you talking to something else. There is no shortage of distractions. Several articles outline how bad that is for productivity, this is my <a href="http://gettingreal.37signals.com/ch07_Alone_Time.php">favorite</a>.<br />

So today, I have alone, nearly no distractions (I have opened up my email twice), but I find something sort of strange, I desire background noice. My ipod has been going almost the whole time with some music. I guess I just like to have some background noise.
