Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Quare, quoniam de primis naturae commodis satis dietum est nunc de maioribus consequentibusque videamus. Sed tamen intellego quid velit. Huic mori optimum esse propter desperationem sapientiae, illi propter spem vivere. Nos autem non solum beatae vitae istam esse oblectationem videmus, sed etiam levamentum miseriarum. Duo Reges: constructio interrete. Tum mihi Piso: Quid ergo? Sed non sunt in eo genere tantae commoditates corporis tamque productae temporibus tamque multae.
Num igitur utiliorem tibi hunc Triarium putas esse posse, quam si tua sint Puteolis granaria? Quaesita enim virtus est, non quae relinqueret naturam, sed quae tueretur. Nam nec vir bonus ac iustus haberi debet qui, ne malum habeat, abstinet se ab iniuria. Quae cum dixisset paulumque institisset, Quid est? Tum Piso: Atqui, Cicero, inquit, ista studia, si ad imitandos summos viros spectant, ingeniosorum sunt; Quod ea non occurrentia fingunt, vincunt Aristonem;
Sed erat aequius Triarium aliquid de dissensione nostra iudicare. Et nemo nimium beatus est; De vacuitate doloris eadem sententia erit. Est enim effectrix multarum et magnarum voluptatum. Itaque hic ipse iam pridem est reiectus; Ita redarguitur ipse a sese, convincunturque scripta eius probitate ipsius ac moribus. Quae qui non vident, nihil umquam magnum ac cognitione dignum amaverunt. Quamvis enim depravatae non sint, pravae tamen esse possunt. Quando enim Socrates, qui parens philosophiae iure dici potest, quicquam tale fecit? Quid enim de amicitia statueris utilitatis causa expetenda vides.

The notion of unplugging and not responding to distractions of everyday life might be unrealistic for some people in challenging family or work situations. The reality of those working at home with children during the COVID period is a stark reminder of this. 37 Signals and the four day week. In 2007, 37 Signals, the company behind Basecamp, shifted to a four day work week. This is not unheard of, other companies have done likewise, providing options for 10 hour days to make up the hours. Only 37 signals did not expect people to make up the extra hours. Instead, they simply cut a day out and continued paying staff the same amount. In an op-ed for the New York Times, co-founder Jason Fried explained: “Better work gets done in four days than in five. When there’s less time to work, you waste less time. When you have a compressed workweek, you tend to focus on what’s important. Constraining time encourages quality time.” Deep work is a mental model associated with productivity but also creativity that arises from deep critical thinking.
