Tzyh Ng's blog post was featuredWhat Drives You to Innovate or Be Productive?
A firestorm erupted after chief Yahoo Marissa Mayer banned working from home in an effort to shock the moribund company culture back to life. The resulting debate over whether working from home was good for corporate innovation and productivity is, to me, not all that interesting. I don’t know of anyone who doesn’t work from home even after putting in a full day at the office -- at the very least, they check and respond to office emails and make work-related calls during off-hours. Most…See More

Scott Murphy commented on Tzyh Ng's blog post How I Learned to Love (Some) Interruptions"Nice post!
As the self-declared former foosball champion at the Manoa Innovation Center (hopefully, undisputed :), I totally agree with your point about taking a break, watching a fun video and enjoying sometime off. Work hard, play…"
Tzyh Ng's blog post was featuredHow I Learned to Love (Some) Interruptions
Interruptions are the annoying, disruptive, beeping, booping constant of our lives -- phones ringing; notifications buzzing; bosses, coworkers, spouses and kids clamoring for our attention. How we react to them -- and the toll it takes on our productivity and concentration -- is a well-studied subject (see Wikipedia on…See More

Tzyh Ng posted a blog postWhat’s Your Back-Up Plan?
I always look for back-up options -- things I can rely on should everything go horribly wrong in a hurry. Blame it on my being a project manager. Or having lived in New York through 9/11. While Superstorm Sandy cut a destructive swathe through the Northeast and dominated headlines in the week just past, there were odd, tiny parallels in O’ahu events that set me thinking about what basic tools and technologies I can rely on -- and, conversely, what my Achilles heels are -- when things get…See More

Scott Murphy commented on Tzyh Ng's blog post In Life and Work, Less Is More"Great tips :)
This is one that I need to learn. At my current rate, my wife has warned me that my next phone will be my daughter's toy phone."
jianshi commented on Tzyh Ng's blog post In Life and Work, Less Is More"Totally agree. Writing down things is so important. Learned a lot from the links. Thanks for this article!"
Tzyh Ng's blog post was featuredIn Life and Work, Less Is More
It always seems like we have more to do than hours in a day -- waves of work demands, constant family obligations and a cacophony of phone calls, emails, texts and reminders. Amidst this overload, it’s increasingly hard to focus on the things that are important to us and give them the level of attention, passion and creativity we’d like. Here are some basic guides I’ve found helpful for creating the mental space for making smart choices on what to pay attention to and getting these things done…See More
Daniel Leuck commented on Tzyh Ng's blog post In Life and Work, Less Is More"This is true for me as well. Days with protected mornings are 2-3 times as productive."
Joseph Lui commented on Tzyh Ng's blog post In Life and Work, Less Is More"Amen! Turning off email for a while is a good tactic too. Our brains have evolved to receive a squirt of dopamine when it's interrupted by something like a text or email, presumably a primitive form of excitement when it feels it needs to…"
