I don't blog and I don't use IRC or any form of instant messaging. I can count the number of people who know my cell number on one hand. I have no beeper, my phone does not allow incoming calls with caller-id blocking on, and I have an answering machine. I don't read newspapers (except the sunday comics). I don't listen to anything recorded that's not music, I don't watch any TV other than the Simpsons and Futurama, and I do not upgrade any hardware or software that works unless it has security flaws.
Consequently, I get lots and lots done. Eliminating nearly all one-way communication flows and external interupts allows me to have more two-way, self-paced flows (like email, for example), while still leaving time to raise children, ramble about in the wilderness, and write oodles of code. It's just a matter of ruthlessly eliminating all useless noise and busy-work from one's life.
Weirdly enough, people frequently tell me I'm remarkably well informed. I think how much you know about what's going on in the world might be inversely proportional to the amount of time you spend perusing commercial news sources.

Also try contacting Eugen Leitl <www.leitl.org> - the guy gets more email than even people like you and I. And he READS it, and he's doing some insane number of things at the same time.

Speaking of lists of lists (I'm one of the folks on Danny's original posting), I've automated creation of two, taken from automated exports of normal programs (iTunes and Extensis Portfolio). See 'em here, as well as links to the scripts that do 'em: http://disobey.com/d/lists/ |

two women i know that seem to get a lot done are heather champ and molly wright steenson. hchamp.com and girlwonder.com respectively.
personally, as a project manager, one key to staying focused and getting things done is to keep a bare desktop and a clean desk. sure, most messy people say they know where everything is, but that's not the point. when you don't have visual distractions and temptations, it's easier to focus on the task at hand.
personality has a LOT to do with it. some people are just born organized. they get off on crossing things off lists. they have lists of lists. can someone learn to be more organized? yes, to some degree, but the real secret is just being born that way.

Well, it's not just about being organised in a traditional sense. Just being on top of dozens of projects and somehow managing not to have them *all* collapse into chaos is good enough for me to be curious.
Whatever Jon is, he's both an extreme and a very high-functioning example of it.
