Jason Fried of 37Signals talks about why most people can’t work at work. Fried says “management means interruption,” and “interruptions are the enemy of work.”
Seems like the revolution is reaching the Inc Magazine. Joseph Plambeck of the New York Times says in What if No One Went to the Office? Inc. Magazine Finds Out:
Max Chafkin, a senior writer for Inc. magazine, couched the idea as a sort of joke: for his article on virtual offices, perhaps the entire magazine staff should work remotely while making the issue?
Enlarge This ImageInc.’s article about virtual offices, “The Office Is Dead. Long Live the Office,” will appear in the issue that goes on sale April 6.
“I thought it would involve so much change that it wouldn’t be feasible,” Mr. Chafkin said.
Then Jane Berentson, Inc.’s editor, gave the go-ahead. And in February, the staff of about 30 — editors, reporters and producers — created the April issue outside of the business magazine’s office in Downtown Manhattan. The issue goes on sale on April 6.
The production went off without a major hitch, with the staff members using nothing more than readily available technology, including Skype and instant messaging. And Ms. Berentson described Mr. Chafkin’s cover piece, “The Office Is Dead. Long Live the Office,” which is infused with first-person details, as richer and more unusual than it would have been without the experiment.
Abraham Harrison doesn’t use office space. It’s fantastic having people from around the globe working together via the various media and data channels. The office is dead. Long live the home office!
