How many of those things impact productivity during work hours?
Mexico shuts down during Mexican world cup games. People don't work, there are literally no cars on the street.
Heh, replace Mexico with Argentina, Uruguay, Brazil... we're all fanatics "down here" (South America)
Offtopic: the Mexico-Uruguay match will be fun :) (yes, Uruguayan here)

#63Won't someone please think of the ghosts!? How many ghosts were tragically chomped in the pursuit of this so-called diversion?
We would like to see this statistic. Sincerely, People for the Ethical Treatment of the Super Natural .
PETSN doesn't sound right.
People for the Ethical Nurturing of the Insubstantial Supernatural sounds better.

#64I hate the nickle and dime approach to productivity. In fact, the happier I am the more I get done.
That's true, but the time-tracking approach encourages me to work hard for a while and then switch off and do something else. Nothing sucks my motivation more than sitting around for 8 hours thinking I'm working and getting nothing done.
that's why I do the low-tech paper, pencil and time pomodoro technique, especially when working on drudgery tasks like database conversions.
