Great points; I remember these office circumstances well. And, I must say I don't miss them. I used to be at my desk at 6:00 a.m. just to have alone time to work. Thanks for sharing, Kel.

We've known about 37 Signals for some time. They have some great tools. Jason is a smart guy. Thanks for sharing this Kel.

No, I haven't heard of 37 signals. I'll check it out.

How are you doing Kel? Goodness, when was the last time we chatted? I've missed you and I sure hope all is well with you, your health and family.

Happy New Year to you dear!

:)

No kidding Deb! Jason is a really smart fellow and he backs it up by designing tools to become more efficient. Not sure if you've heard of 37 Signals but they have changed the way a lot of people work.

Amen on that! I SO totally agree with what he is saying. When I was in the corporate arena, I used to HATE meetings because I could not get my work done efficiently and effectively, always being interrupted. This video should be sent to the millions of organizations who think working from home is a distraction. You go Jason Fried! Great speech!
