A timely attention management reality check
When you really want to concentrate, do you need a quiet room with no distractions, or does playing loud music help you focus? Can you hold a conversation while typing? Can you read blogs and write e-mail while watching TV? I do. And I must.

It’ll be interesting to see if Apple is as effective as Facebook is, in terms of purging forged identities.
