Viewpoints from Workers Worldwide Show Technology and
Productivity Increasingly Intertwined March 15, 2005 Q&A: A
Microsoft Office System group product manager and an independent
time-management expert discuss the results of a personal
productivity assessment that drew responses from more than
38,000 workers across 200 countries.  REDMOND, Wash., March 15,

are faring in today's workplace environments, the Microsoft
Information Worker Product Management Group last year teamed
with internationally respected productivity researcher Dr. Larry
Baker to create an online survey that helped participants assess
their own productivity and receive tips on improving their work
habits.  Dr. Larry Baker, Dr. Baker Management Center Dr. Larry
