If I'm going to take a break anyway (just like if I need to fold laundry anyway), it's nice to have some good conversation and catch up with friends. I end up feeling refreshed when I go back to getting things done. I use phone calls to take a break from multi-tasking or from doing work.

I'm genuinely curious to hear people's thoughts on this. You bring up a great point about how we multitask too much. I'm NOT a fan of multitasking--at least not in so much that it kills the quality of most of our performance while slowing us down. But I think some activities take very little mental energy (like folding laundry) and could benefit from a little of it. Not when talking to clients, but when driving or talking to a friend... Thanks again for your thoughts! Thanks, Grant! I’m genuinely curious to hear people’s thoughts on this. You bring up a great point about how we multitask too much.

Usually while on the phone, I am at my desk if in the office. I multi-task too much. I might answer an email or a twitter. I use a JawBone BT earpiece with my iPhone so I have both hands free. If I am not at my desk and need to get up and move around, I go to the back yard if the weather is nice. Or I sit on our front porch. Good post BTW. Jared — Per your twitter request.
