Jason Fried is a savant of the modern day worker. What he said should should be standard for all companies. Meetings are a great way to waste time. Productive meetings are ones that last ~15 to 30 minutes max and nothing more. Most meetings can be emails and shouldn't involve more than 3 people. If you can't get your work done in 8 hours, something is wrong either with your time management, or your workload (you're doing too much) or company culture. Ofcourse that goes without saying, in some asian countries, working overtime is the norm

This topic is so on point for me. It’s far too easy to get caught up in the urgency. This has been my reality too long, working in a small team, wearing too many hats. I’ve tried expressing to my coworkers not every customer issue needs to be escalated to threat level midnight. It certainly has been a struggle to mentally compartmentalize a variety of types of tasks and drawing on various skillets. It isn’t sustainable. We need to make sure we are setting aside time for our own personal, mental, physical, and professional development. If you don’t respect your own time no one else will. Thank you for the reminder!

I'm obsessed with this! I've never been able to articulate it well to others and find myself trying to justify not answering calls or emails because I'm "in the zone" which feels silly when said out loud. But people don't seem to understand that breaking that moment of focus and real productivity, even after a small interruption like a phone call, you can struggle to find that deep concentration again. Especially now that you have new thoughts, topics, and emotions going through your head. It's hard to get in that flow state and if you're constantly being pinged once you enter it, it can be really hard to get it back. Even more specifically as creatives! It's why writers famously like to rent out hotel rooms and hide their phones so they can get their work done in peace. But naming these various tasks as "fragments" really helps visualize the idea of a "broken" up day and emphasizes how that can be a hindrance. Very well put. I want to send this to everyone I've ever worked with. Great convo!

I think this need to be busy and constant distractions stems from the traditional school system routine where you do a subject for an hour, then you’re on to the next subject and the day is long and fragmented divided among many subjects and never focusing on one thing long enough to get real world results… Then this pattern is brought into the work place so you can fill up 8 hours of time…sometimes shuffling papers to look busy just to pass the time… So we are conditioned not to value time from a young age… it’s like a residual programming we all need to de-school from.

I believe that people who work 14 hours a day are not necessarily spreading their work. There is also the psychological issue. People who feel lonely find a fake fulfillment in their work. Of course it's not real, it's something like drugs. And the next day they work 15 hours. Then 16. Until they break. I know that, I was one of those. Not God has blessed me with a wife and three kids and there is reason to live not just to work in your job but also to work on your relationship, on your children, on everything here on earth! Life is awesome! People should work 6 hours straight (with some breaks of course) and then go straight to their beloved ones! Please, do not work all day long.
