First, let’s get this out of the way: We all use Facebook on the toilet. Don’t even try to deny it – I know you’ve done it. And there’s nothing wrong with that. I had a friend whose family kept a stash of Archie comics on the toilet to help pass the time when they’re […]
Okay, I’m gonna ask you a question, and I want you to answer with the first thing that pops into your head: Where do you go when you wanna get some serious work done? Is it a cafe? A meeting room? The library? At home after everyone has gone to bed? Notice how almost NOBODY says
It’s a brand new year! Let’s imagine that this year, you made a major resolution to improve the quality of your life. You’ve read all about the benefits of leaving work on time, so you hunker down and say, “Okay, I’m gonna leave the office by 6pm every day, no matter what!” I tried that last

Productivity gurus love to write about how we shouldn’t overwork ourselves. They’ll say things like, “If you stay late, you’re just being inefficient.” Or “there’s more to life than work”.

Okkaayyy! As you know, I just came back from a 2-week vacay to the US of A. I spent some time with my girlfriend at The Wizarding World of Harry Potter. I drank delicious butterbeer, and bought one of those ridiculously-expensive interactive wands for US$50: The REAL magic, however, happened after I came back from vacation and
