The electronic version of this article is awkward to navigate, but I found it to be interesting reading. You have to visit the "gallery" to read the interviews. (Click through the link at the bottom of the lead-in text.)

Marissa Mayer, a VP at Google, uses Pine (not Gmail) to process her 700-800 daily work emails. On a weekend, she'll sit down and do email for 14 hours straight.

Wynton Marsalis has never sent an email. John McCain can't type. Richard Posner doesn't get to the office until 10, and then he goes home after lunch. (He works everywhere.) The BlackBerry is a very polarizing technology. (As if you didn't already know that.)

Here are the executive summaries from the interviews:

Don't just cope with information -- revel in it.

Cut through the noise.

Get away from the routine.

Rise early -- and have the occasional jolt of joe.

Challenge each other -- but don't hold grudges.

Focus relentlessly.

Be compulsively organized -- and delegate.

Take a break, even if you work Sunday nights.

It's a game of pinball, and you're the ball.

Be open to ideas that come over the transom.

Seek the most efficient mode of communication.

Work the phone -- and the clock.
