I am printing this out and putting it on my door, with a big bright circle around "Out by 5:30 no excuses".

I'm not sure it'll help, though, since I'm not actually in charge.

Wish it were possible. Everything I do seems to flow from/through/to email. If I checked email three times a day, I'd just be sitting around surfing the web. Oh wait...is that so bad?

The Focus/Log part is great, but the ebb and flow of creativity and productivity doesn't follow clock time. Organic interruptions during multi-faceted tasks (like creating prototypes) often contribute to productive work sessions.

I've tried artificial structure, and it doesn't work for me. Embrace breakpoints early and often.

Good good on the board. But this is should be imposed by people themselves and by someone to someone. Won't work in most cases.

The more social the web becomes, the more discipline is required to have more time to do something away from the computer like socializing face-to-face.

BTW, why Twitter and Facebook are not mentioned? ;-)

Cheers!

Hilarious... I don't know how that picture got to your hands, but I took that with my iPhone on a board I sketched for my team in Ask.com while VP of User Experience. It actually got more detailed than that, all in the quest for achieving higher quality of focused time and better work/life balance. The results did not last too long as the rest of the company was drumming at a different workaholic beat. Lesson: The whole corporate culture has to be brought in unison to the philosophy... Otherwise the heroes are not seen so. _Dahveed

The amusing (sad?) thing I just noticed, is that Mail.app won't let me check any less than every hour...

This sounds great.

How would you make something like that work in a worldwide company? branches around the world with multiple time zones?

Great illustration. Found this photo's rightful place only after a little googling, subsequent seeing it used in a blog post. It was used sans attribution. (See now that the photo is "All rights reserved" and am now a little irritated on your behalf).

Wish my studio had these rules!! Especially Minimize Chat! There are only so many conversations about shoe shopping and cupcakes I can take . .
