đ Link Post: “How Work Became an Inescapable Hellhole”
Anne Helen Petersen writing for Wired:
The first part of this story describes a day of vacuous hell to me. I donât know how people function that way, but I know many do. Reading the first part of this article makes me happy Iâm older.
Later, we get this gem:
“When you âshoot off a few emailsâ on a Sunday afternoon, for example, you might convince yourself youâre just getting on top of things for the week aheadâwhich might feel true. But what youâre really doing is giving work access to be everywhere you are. And once allowed in, it spreads without your permission: to the dinner table, the couch, the kidâs soccer game, the grocery store, the car, the family vacation.”
Itâs so true. Work can wait. It might feel it canât, but actually, it can. Cut out the social media waste during work days and there is plenty of working time within regular hours.
