When reading Information Overload and What You Can Do About It
I found the statistic interesting that knowledge workers spend less than 5% of the day on thought and reflection. That is about 20 minutes. Some days that feels very accurate. It can be hard dealing with constant interruptions. It makes you wonder what the designer of cubicles was thinking.

This episode of Tuesday Tunes I thought I’d highlight different versions of the same song – Angel of the Morning.

• performed by Shaggy – I really like this interpretation of this song

And as an added bonus, just in case you thought the bass line in Shaggy’s version sounded familiar but couldn’t place it – The Steve Miller Band’s The Joker.
