The blackberry checking may literally be an addiction. The random arrival time of email and Twitter makes it more addictive: http://j.mp/4Ggl32.

It would be interesting to learn how judges manage their clerks and other support staff to facilitate their preparation for such a hearing.

Hm, your last paragraph is timely — I'm in a conference session right now and paying attention to your blog rather than listening.

It would be interesting to know how much time was spent lobbying/discussing outside of the supreme court before that particular efficient session in the supreme court happened. I wouldn't be surprised if time spent outside of the session was high enough. In the tech world, where most businesses move at the speed of thought, that amount of "outside session time" may be a luxury. The key in my mind is to stick to entrepreneurial basics which is 'quick thinking' and ability to consume volumes of information quickly and get to the point.

Yes – discipline within the meetings itself definitely helps

One of the things I learned playing Division-I sports was preparedness. Everyday for practice, we had to know the exact practice schedule and usually a motivational quote before we stepped on the field (or we did MORE sprints). We also watched film of our opponents to prepare for their offense/defense etc. When you do that kind of work, that preparation, you are far more ready to play on gameday.

Not only does our startup enable teams to do this better by using the web, we try to practice what we preach internally. Being ready for meetings, knowing what we're discussing prior to and being able to participate fully.

This is why I like Gist. I can quickly take a look at Gist and get up to speed on my contacts prior to meetings.

Now put your phone away and get back to Defrag!

What works for me is turning my iPhone off and leaving it out of reach. The pull/desire to check then disappears. If I leave it on in my pocket I will always eventually have a look.
