Your tie-in of lean + personal workflow is your #1 contribution opportunity in the field. IMHO. One of your best posts, Dan.

I certainly agree with your batching conclusion. This matches well with the way I've found myself to be most efficient and to those theories made popular by the 80/20 Principle and The 4-Hour Workweek.

I see the similarity with the 80/20 Principle and 4HWW as well, and see all of these approaches as simply a different way of expressing the same ideas - much as there are thousands of love poems, and you never know which will hit you. Tim,

We work with lean manufacturers to enhance the relationship of the worker to the process (ergonomics), but poor workstation design happens in the office too. Bad design doesn't have to lead to injuries to make a difference. Bad ergonomics in the office makes it real easy to want to get up from your desk, making it hard to "get into" your work.
