I just got back a few days ago from an incredible vacation to London, France and Barcelona. It is though to adapt to the daily grind again.

One of the most predominant things I have noticed is how much time and attention I spend daily on online communication. Some will say “necessary evil”, or even include it in the “cost of doing business”, does that mean it is good?

Between Skype, Campfire, AIM and email roughly 70% of the day is consumed with communicating. Is it the message that is so complex? Or are we spending time going in circles in order to achieve a sense of self-fulfillment?

Let’s spend a few seconds thinking about a car factory assembly line. By virtue of the loud machinery, employees rarely communicate with each other. An unwelcome interruption on the factory floor could become life threatening. How much more are they accomplishing by concentrating on the task ahead instead of randomly attending to pop-us on each corner of a computer screen?

This post will come to it’s demise with no clear solution, I truly wish I had one. Other than: “Close all communication tools and get some work done” I draw a blank.
