They lied, multitasking isn't a thing — instead, we switch between tasks and work inefficiently as a result. That's a problem, e ...
Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Quae enim adhuc protulisti, popularia sunt, ego autem a te elegantiora desidero. Nihilo beatiorem esse Metellum quam Regulum. Ne amores quidem sanctos a sapiente alienos esse arbitrantur. Duo Reges: constructio interrete. Quae cum dixisset, finem ille. Quicquid enim a sapientia proficiscitur, id continuo debet expletum esse omnibus suis partibus; Nam illud vehementer repugnat, eundem beatum esse et multis malis oppressum.
Itaque eos id agere, ut a se dolores, morbos, debilitates repellant. Quod eo liquidius faciet, si perspexerit rerum inter eas verborumne sit controversia. At quicum ioca seria, ut dicitur, quicum arcana, quicum occulta omnia? Sed haec quidem liberius ab eo dicuntur et saepius. Et ille ridens: Video, inquit, quid agas; Ut optime, secundum naturam affectum esse possit. Et quod est munus, quod opus sapientiae? Id enim natura desiderat. Sed mehercule pergrata mihi oratio tua. Fortasse id optimum, sed ubi illud: Plus semper voluptatis? Sed fac ista esse non inportuna;
Sin autem eos non probabat, quid attinuit cum iis, quibuscum re concinebat, verbis discrepare? Hoc loco discipulos quaerere videtur, ut, qui asoti esse velint, philosophi ante fiant. Qui ita affectus, beatum esse numquam probabis; Nos paucis ad haec additis finem faciamus aliquando; Hoc est non modo cor non habere, sed ne palatum quidem. Quando enim Socrates, qui parens philosophiae iure dici potest, quicquam tale fecit? Serpere anguiculos, nare anaticulas, evolare merulas, cornibus uti videmus boves, nepas aculeis. A quibus propter discendi cupiditatem videmus ultimas terras esse peragratas.

The notion of unplugging and not responding to distractions of everyday life might be unrealistic for some people in challenging family or work situations. The reality of those working at home with children during the COVID period is a stark reminder of this. 37 Signals and the four day week. In 2007, 37 Signals, the company behind Basecamp, shifted to a four day work week. This is not unheard of, other companies have done likewise, providing options for 10 hour days to make up the hours. Only 37 signals did not expect people to make up the extra hours. Instead, they simply cut a day out and continued paying staff the same amount. In an op-ed for the New York Times, co-founder Jason Fried explained: “Better work gets done in four days than in five. When there’s less time to work, you waste less time. When you have a compressed workweek, you tend to focus on what’s important. Constraining time encourages quality time.” Deep work is a mental model associated with productivity but also creativity that arises from deep critical thinking.
