I’m not sure how I missed this article when it first came out. Unlimited vacation? I could see how it would work well for me. I probably wouldn’t take as much, but I wouldn’t have stressed out about having to work half days during a recent trip to visit my sick mother… from Fast Company’s “Unlimited Vacation Doesn’t Create Slackers–It Ensures Productivity”
I think there are some good points in this article. I am rarely bored, but my daughter complains frequently that she is bored. It really is a matter of being content, even if that means you are doing nothing. From Stepcase Lifehack’s “How to Overcome Boredom”
Many productive people find themselves plagued with a messy workspace. These tips from Stepcase Lifehack tell us how to get past it. From “10 Simple Steps to Conquering Your Messy Desk”
Did you ever think that social media at work would make you more productive? I don’t, but ComplianceAndSafety.com does. They share their theory at “Social Media Infographic: Restricting Social Media at Work”
If you find yourself battling with negative reactions, Be More With Less has a great article on small things you can do to get rid of them. From “Micro Strategies to Eradicate Your Negative Reactions”
I will be incorporating this tip into my holiday planning…which starts next week (not because I am anxious for the holidays, but because November is filled with writing!) From Remember the Milk’s “Tips & Tricks Tuesday: Planning holiday gifts”
