Where and when (and with whom) do you do GREAT work?

I try to read a little bit each week about some new ideas in my field of expertise. I also couldn't live with out my podcasts in a number of different areas to stimulate thinking. How about you?
Whatever you're making, whatever services you offer, whatever you're selling, everything you do falls into one of three categories:

Bad Work is the work that wastes time, slows things down and sucks the spirit dry. It's bureaucracy, complexity and paperwork.
Good Work is what most of us do most of the time. It's comfortable, familiar and the heart of our business. As entrepreneurs, good work is our economic engine. It's that reliable product or service we produce for our customers, all with a profit margin that works.
Great Work is the flame that burns inside most entrepreneurs, the work that lights us up and excites us. It's the work we care most about, that stretches and challenges us. It's work that has meaning for us and creates impact.
So how do you manage the busywork so you can do less good work and more great work? Here are two simple and powerful tips:
