Ever wonder how much work you actually do in a day? There can be a lot of distractions between meetings, your manager’s questions, impromptu pot-lucks and gab fests. Some days it can feel like it’s impossible to get anything done. That’s because according to Jason Fried it IS. Jason is the co-founder of 37 Signals, a company that builds web-based collaboration tools. He’s also the co-author of the bestseller Rework – a book all about how to make work work better. Although he himself is a manager, Jason has no problem blaming workplace inefficiencies on meetings and managers. (Runs 22:49)

Content is viewed in many ways; from RSS feeds to email. Content is viewed on many devices; from mobile phones to laptops. Users can manipulate the browser, they can remove content, resize the canvas, resize the typefaces. A designer is no longer in control of this presentation. So where do grid systems fit in to all that?
