The problem of course is that a lot of work in the corporate world depends on communicating with others. This means that at the least we'd have to be available for communication during normal business hours even if we actually chose to do some of our work at other times. It will be interesting to see how business hours evolve. I’m all for innovation and I look forward to a day when hours are more flexible.

I particularly liked that Victor Hugo would ride around on buses in the afternoon, watching people slave away... I'm terribly unproductive in the afternoon, and if I could actually get away with working from 7-12, and then a little in the evenings, I probably would.

Yeah, I've found all of them to be true though. When I'm in the habit of regular exercise (easier in the summer) I sometimes find myself thinking, "man I feel good". When I let winter trap me inside, I rarely feel so decidedly healthy. That’s way too many equations for a Friday afternoon. Yeah, I’ve found all of them to be true though.
