If you actually manage to read all the way through the entire article (the first time):

The Benefits of Distraction and Overstimulation -- New York Magazine

2. You need a [new] job.

All I know is that unless I close Outlook, Live Messenger, Office Communicator, Internet Explorer, turn off my cell and office phones and plug White Zombie (or its equivalent) into the Zune upwards of 11 on the volume slider, I can’t concentrate enough to get anything meaningful done...

Meh.
