The post only implicitly answered how the job was made redundant. I'm assuming he lives off what used to be sideincome (consulting, training courses, blogging etc.) now? The way he works sounds pretty unhealthy (or at least it would be for me) and is often the exact opposite to what I strive for. I don't write mails while waiting I let my mind wander around and try to "do nothing". I have batches for handling email and don't check outside those times (surprisingly the world doesn't stop if you don't answer email for most mails). If I'm in a meeting, I'm in the meeting. If the meetings seem irrelevant the right course of action is trying to get rid of the meetings not hanging around but writing mail (imo) Basically feels like he needs to "actively do stuff all the time". I'm quite the opposite and try to actively do nothing (my brain will work really well during those times but it's not looking active). And when I'm doing something I try to optimize doing exactly that and not squeezing in other stuff.
