Luis — Awesome stuff, man. I’m all for movies on a weekend; and yea, productivity apps definitely will waste time if not, (i) thought out, and (ii) simple. Even simpler than 37 Signals styles apps.

Good interview, congratulations. I have a TV too, but only for watch some movies.

I live in a small town in Brazil, and I spent all my free time playing tennis or watching movies. I usually read some books and science fiction is my top pick. I love real science too, and Carl Sagan really inspired me.

I completely agree about productivity apps. You have to focus on what really matters now. If you forget a task an hour after know that, probably it is not important. A productivity app will help you create a lot more unimportant things, giving you a false sense of productivity.

I don’t even use a to-do app. If something is important, I’ll remember it. If I have an idea I’m afraid I might forget, I set a reminder in my calendar on a date when I know I’ll have time to work on it. On that date, I’ll either work on it, discard it…

Jonathan — That’s definitely a good move. The average human is targeted by around 4,000 are targeted through emails, T.V., advertisements, IM’s, phone calls, etc. per day. It’s definitely wise to cut this down.

I have a TV, but I only use it to watch DVDs and play PS3 games. I do not have the aerial plugged in, because TV is mostly idle trash and advertisements drive me berserk.

Peo, I think most people have figured out that they need focus; they just don’t understand how to get there.
