Offices can be interruption factories. There’s a meeting, then a call, then someone calls you over to their desk or your manager stops by yours. Jason Fried lays out the main problems and offers three suggestions to make work — work.

On behalf of Scott Adams and Dilbert, do not implement these suggestions.
Weirdly enough, I find this a pretty terrible TED talk. Fried makes huge assumptions which he never clarifies or supports. He speaks way too generally about work, managers, and meetings. I’m sure he’s right on with regards to some companies, but way off the mark with regards to many others. His stereotyping and extrapolations therefrom make for an unconvincing and soap-box style monologue. I prefer (Sir) Ken Robinson’s “Are Schools Killing Creativity?” as an approach to why ‘work’ either at school or the office doesn’t work.
