			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img src="http://smarterware.org/wp-content/uploads/2009/06/mattmullenweg.png" alt="Matt Mullenweg" title="Matt Mullenweg" width="174" height="210" class="alignright size-full wp-image-2189" align="right" /> Inc. magazine's <a href="http://www.inc.com/magazine/20090601/the-way-i-work-matt-mullenweg.html">"The Way I Work" feature profiles Matt Mullenweg</a>, creator of WordPress, the software that runs this site. Even though the article byline was "by Matt Mullenweg," Matt says the reporter actually wrote the piece--so <a href="http://ma.tt/2009/06/the-way-i-work-annotated/">he rewrote it, in his own words, on his blog</a>. (I love this.) Matt's workday sounds perfect to me. He says it includes:</p>
<ul>
<li>No computer or email for an hour after he wakes up (not to an alarm clock)</li>
<li>No meetings before 11AM</i>
<li>Working from home six days a week, even though his office is a five-minute walk from his home</li>
<li>Going out for long lunches (and having meetings over food)</li>
<li>Batching his tasks to avoid context switching: all his meetings in one day, all coding TODO's in another, all his errands in another.</li>
</ul>
<p>Interestingly, he uses <a href="http://www.rescuetime.com/">RescueTime</a> to monitor what applications he spends his day in, and also uses both a Mac and PC connected with Synergy (<a href="http://lifehacker.com/5067801/the-ultimate-windows-desktopmac-notebook-alliance">like I do)</a>. This whole article is worth a read, but get it in Matt's words on his own blog:  <a href="http://ma.tt/2009/06/the-way-i-work-annotated/">The Way I Work, annotated</a>.  <i>Photo by <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/andreabeggi/2484398018/">Andrea Beggi</a>.</i></p>
