Whereas I definitely agree with information being accessible 24 hours a day, 7 days a week from anywhere….I don’t think that should mean that we should then strive to work 24 hours a day 7 days a week. Instead we should leverage all the existing tools of the Internet to work less and less in general and more and more on the things we consider important using the Internet and resources such as Getting Things Done, the 4 Hour Work Week, The Parento Principle amongst other productivity tools all over the Internet.
