They lied, multitasking isn't a thing — instead, we switch between tasks and work inefficiently as a result. That's a problem, e ...
Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Ita ceterorum sententiis semotis relinquitur non mihi cum Torquato, sed virtuti cum voluptate certatio. Quid, quod homines infima fortuna, nulla spe rerum gerendarum, opifices denique delectantur historia? Nam illud vehementer repugnat, eundem beatum esse et multis malis oppressum. Prioris generis est docilitas, memoria; Duo Reges: constructio interrete. Nam aliquando posse recte fieri dicunt nulla expectata nec quaesita voluptate. Is ita vivebat, ut nulla tam exquisita posset inveniri voluptas, qua non abundaret. Sed quid minus probandum quam esse aliquem beatum nec satis beatum? At modo dixeras nihil in istis rebus esse, quod interesset.
Qui ita affectus, beatum esse numquam probabis; Suo enim quisque studio maxime ducitur. Nihil acciderat ei, quod nollet, nisi quod anulum, quo delectabatur, in mari abiecerat.
Piso igitur hoc modo, vir optimus tuique, ut scis, amantissimus. Quod ea non occurrentia fingunt, vincunt Aristonem; Plane idem, inquit, et maxima quidem, qua fieri nulla maior potest. Et hunc idem dico, inquieta sed ad virtutes et ad vitia nihil interesse. Nec hoc ille non vidit, sed verborum magnificentia est et gloria delectatus. De ingenio eius in his disputationibus, non de moribus quaeritur. Sed id ne cogitari quidem potest quale sit, ut non repugnet ipsum sibi. Sic exclusis sententiis reliquorum cum praeterea nulla esse possit, haec antiquorum valeat necesse est. In quo etsi est magnus, tamen nova pleraque et perpauca de moribus. Claudii libidini, qui tum erat summo ne imperio, dederetur.

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.
