I always laugh at these companies that have these rules saying, 'You're only allowed to have this or that on your desk.' It's no fun to work at a place like that.

Working in an office with an array of electronic devices is like trying to get something done at home with half a dozen small children around. The calls for attention are constant.

Sometimes I work purely 8-12 shifts, banging stuff into the computer. Other times, my office is like a scene from a detective movie, with Post-it Notes, plans, photographs all stuck on the walls and arrows going everywhere, and it's 4 A.M.

Don't be limited by your job description.

In fact, almost every job you get somebody watching you.

Most working days I can be at my desk for nine hours a day.

Very, very few people actually have long stretches of uninterrupted time at an office.

I'm a virtual worker. I'm not tied to an office.

I'm quite concerned that if I spend time in the office, someone will always find something for you to do. There's always a crisis that needs your urgent attention.

When you supervise something, it is one thing. When you are in the middle of something, there is a different pace of life.
