I've been asking people this question for about 10 years: "Where do you go when you really need to get something done?" I'll hear things like, the porch, the deck, the kitchen.

You almost never hear someone say, "The office."

You don't have a work day anymore.

You have work moments.

It's like the front door of the office is like a Cuisinart, and you walk in and your day is shredded to bits, because you have 15 minutes here, 30 minutes there, and something else happens, you're pulled off your work, then you have 20 minutes, then it's lunch, then you have something else to do ... Then you've got 15 minutes, and someone pulls you aside and asks you a question, and before you know it, it's 5 p.m., and you look back on the day, and you realize that you didn't get anything done.

So you have to go back a few phases and start again.

People say you go "to" sleep, but you don't go to sleep, you go towards sleep; it takes a while.

Because in other places, you can have interruptions like the TV, or you could go for a walk, or there's a fridge downstairs, or you've got your own couch, or whatever you want to do.

If you talk to certain managers, they'll tell you that they don't want their employees to work at home because of these distractions.

You decide when you want to be distracted by the TV, when you want to turn something on, or when you want to go downstairs or go for a walk.

Now, managers and bosses will often have you think that the real distractions at work are things like Facebook and Twitter and YouTube and other websites, and in fact, they'll go so far as to actually ban these sites at work.

Some of you may work at places where you can't get to certain sites.

You can't go to a website at work, and that's the problem?

Now what's interesting is, if you listen to all the places that people talk about doing work, like at home, in the car, on a plane, late at night, or early in the morning, you don't find managers and meetings.
