Driven to distraction by technology

Here is a CNet News.com article about workers getting interrupted and/or distracted by email, instant messages and such. It struck a chord with me because I often find myself distracted just that way. I need to keep my instant message client open a lot of the time, along with being close to the telephone and other distractions.

Thank Goodness I have friends who are not offended if I say I can't talk because of needing to work. People in businesses often can't excercise that luxury and this article notes that they lose vast amounts of time because of it.
