Gina Trapani writes a good article at Smarterware on how Matt Mullenweg works (full article at http://smarterware.org/2188/how-matt-mullenweg-works).

She reports that some of his rules are “

No computer or email for an hour after he wakes up (not to an alarm clock)

No meetings before 11AM

Working from home six days a week, even though his office is a five-minute walk from his home

Going out for long lunches (and having meetings over food)

Batching his tasks to avoid context switching: all his meetings in one day, all coding TODO’s in another, all his errands in another. “

What follows is my comment:

Hi Gina.
Sorry, but I don’t agree to all of this points.
Or at least I don’t think this rules apply to an efficient working style, unless you are a free lance or you can decide on your own the way you plan your work.

Just a couple of major points I don’t agree on:
No meeeting untill 11 AM, for me for example is quite utopic, unless I completely forget of my customers.
doing similar tasks in same day: good thing to do if you work on your own, much harder if you have a big group of people working with you.
