Need to get some work done? Announce your anti-office hours. “I’ll be offline. SMS if there’s an emergency.”
You’re reading Signal v. Noise, a publication about the web by Basecamp since 1999. Happy !

on 10 Aug 09Back when people had individual offices (and land lines), my biggest productivity secret was telling people I’d be working from home – and then sneaking into my office and shutting the door.

on 11 Aug 09The folks at my company have been advocating that for a long time-so we put together awayfind.com. The gist is it gives you a way to be reached over SMS without having to give out your cell to anyone.-just a URL instead.
I’m enjoying the new labeling system you all have going with LINKS, PHOTOS, QUOTES, and now INSIGHTS. Seems to be a good way to keep content on the blog without having to put out 500 words. I should really try something like that.
