Working smart doesn’t mean working less

It means working hard on what truly matters.

The Radical Plan to Save the Planet by Working Less

The degrowth movement wants to intentionally shrink the economy to address climate change, and create lives with less stuff, less work, and better well-being. But is it a utopian fantasy?

‘’This is how degrowthers envision the process: After a reduction in material and energy consumption, which will constrict the economy, there should also be a redistribution of existing wealth, and a transition from a materialistic society to one in which the values are based on simpler lifestyles and unpaid work and activities.’’

I've been so tired lately - like I can't get myself to get down to doing productive things unless it's under a pressing deadline or there's sudden a strike of energy/motivation

But like my baseline is ughhh

WORKING LESS CAN ACTUALLY PRODUCE BETTER RESULTS

[dragoni]

As Itamar points out, experience and skills are the keys to working less.

There's always too much work to be done on software projects, too many features to implement, too many bugs to fix. Some days you're just not going through the backlog fast enough, you're not producing enough code, and it's taking too long to fix a seemingly-impossible bug. And to make things worse you're wasting time in pointless meetings instead of getting work done.

Once it gets bad enough you can find yourself always scrambling, working overtime just to keep up. Pretty soon it's just expected, and you need to be available to answer emails at all hours even when there are no emergencies. You're tired and burnt out and there's still just as much work as before.

The real solution is not working even harder or even longer, but rather the complete opposite: working fewer hours.

Some caveats first:

The more experienced you are the better this will work. If this is your first year working after school you may need to just deal with it until you can find a better job, which you should do ASAP.

Working fewer hours is effectively a new deal you are negotiating with your employer. If you're living from paycheck to paycheck you have no negotiating leverage, so the first thing you need to do is make sure you have some savings in the bank.

Working Mothers and The Perception of Working Less

Working Mothers and The Perception of Working Less

Many working mothers in Big Corporate have to make different, and drastic decisions, especially when it comes to work. What with the cost and scarcity of childcare, to simply the kids’ schedules being different and tighter than everybody else (even with after-school care, one still has to be able to pick up their kids by 5 or 5:30pm, and that’s when you can even afford after-school…
