A big part of staying productive at work involves making conscious decisions about when you're focusing on a task to the exclusion of everything else and when you're open to interruptions. Author Tim Ferriss interviewed me recently about my bi-modal work style, which can apply to anyone who's online and at a computer all day long: Basically, I've got two modes of work: loose/open, and focused/closed. When I'm in "open" mode, my instant messenger status is set to available, I'm surfing, writing, checking email, coding, listening to music with lyrics—getting things done, but in a multitasking way, open to interruptions and tangents. When I'm in focused/closed mode, I shut down IM, stop checking email, close any windows I'm not using, switch to my ambient music playlist, set a timer, and plow through whatever I've got to get done.

When nature calls, most of us head to the nearest toilet to do our
business. If the bathroom has the Kohler Numi that launches in the U.S.
at the end of the month, you might be tempted to hang out awhile.
The
customizable "smart toilet" lets you adjust seat position, water
temperature and pressure, ambient lighting, even audio. Numi not only
has a built-in music system with rear speakers, but also an FM radio
and audio input jack for an MP3 player.
