Those of us with responsibility to manage others also have to
be available when the crises occur. I like to use the ability
to "dip into" the electronic conversations at work while I stay
at home occasionally to get more than 20 uninterrupted minutes
in a row to accomplish something on projects where I can't
progress any other way. I wish I could do it more, but that's
the nature of the beast I guess.
