How Bill Gates works (2006 article)

Interesting article “How I Work: Bill Gates” from 2006 about how Bill Gates (you know, that bloke with the software house) works. Good insights into his productivity methods.

It seems to boil down to:

1. Three monitors (email, current work item, browser)
2. Email filtering
3. Ignore “the toast” – pop-up email notification
4. Email, Desktop folders and Calendar instead of to-do lists
5. SharePoint to collaborate on projects
6. Search
7. Whiteboard

I can certainly vouch for three monitors, email filtering and the whiteboard.
