Donna Karlin blogs that even before the era of the Blackberry, people used to work 10 hour days. Now, we often work 12 - 14 hour days, if you count work at home on weekdays and weekends. Blackberries make it worse. When you're off, we're "on." Each day is an interruption interrupted by an interruption. The problem? It's not sustainable. You have no life. You never finish anything. Companies should focus people on their top 3 priorities. Us? We need to de-schedule and de-commit. Create a sustainable pace.
