“Every two days we create as much information as we did from the dawn of civilization up until 2003” Knowledge workers spend 50% of their day on unproductive tasks such as scheduling, duplicate communication, trying to get in touch and filtering spam.

Principles of Flow
Everything important will find its way to you many, many times: don’t worry if you miss it.
Remain in your flow: be wrapped up in the thing that has captured your attention.
