		<description><![CDATA[When it&#8217;s crunch time, one of my friends puts tempting but non-critical projects in a cabinet and shuts the door. Another turns his monitor off and puts his keyboard away when he needs to avoid the web and email. Is there anything you can put away today? Similarly, some folks shut their office door when [...]]]></description>
