Great set of tactics in this article about ‘overwork’:
✅ Acknowledge the degree to which compulsively working is true for you.
✅ Focus on two primary commitments: sleep and exercise.
✅ Choose one activity in your life that gives you the purest enjoyment.
✅ Become more aware of what you’re feeling in your body, especially after you’re working for extended periods of time.

New study reveals the emergence of two distinctive patterns of successful #ai use by humans along a spectrum of human-AI integration. One set of subjects acted as “Centaurs,” dividing and delegating their solution-creation activities to the AI or to themselves. Another set of subjects acted more like “Cyborgs,” completely integrating their task flow with the AI and continually interacting with the technology.

Dating app Grindr loses nearly half its staff after trying to force a return to office.
“We are looking forward to returning to the office in a hybrid model in October and further improving productivity and collaboration for our entire team,” a Grinder spokesperson said.
https://edition.cnn.com/2023/09/08/business/grindr-return-to-office-union/index.html
Grindr looses half of their workforce after they want to return to office, like to the „normal“ in „pre pandemic times.“ There is no such thing. There is just now, and home office will stay.
Of course, the move could have been intentional so they could cut down employees easily.

It's important to understand that AI is not a threat to human jobs. Instead, it can act as a catalyst for growth and innovation. In fact, AI is expected to create more jobs than it displaces, and it will also enhance human skills and capabilities. The age of AI presents key challenges and opportunities for businesses and workers alike. These include reskilling, promoting diversity, and addressing ethical concerns. #AI #FutureOfWork
“Ideas emerge in the complex domain …” which is where creative knowledge workers in a network economy need to be active, probing, and playing.

Why are we talking so much about #mindset** and **#values in our work contexts?
Both is individual & hard to change!
A stance is sth I can easily change if it doesn't help solve a problem, see opportunities.
A principle is a hypothesis we give ourself to guide us doing the work (together). If it doesn't serve the purpose in a given context, we can find a better (matching) one.

#LongRead here from McKinsey - but one that I think anyone interested in #Cities, #Urbanism, #FutureOfWork and generally how humans live will find interesting.
I haven't finished all of it. But I was inspired to jump in by this bit from the exec summar:
"Cities and buildings can adapt and thrive by taking hybrid approaches themselves. Priorities might include developing #mixedUse #neighborhoods, constructing more adaptable buildings, and designing multiuse #office and #retail space."
The #Hybrid space is something that I've been passionate about for a long time. Mono-culture (work, play, housing) can lead to stagnation and, frankly, boring places.
Mix it up a bit! Give humans at work somewhere for a nice walk and a coffee. Give humans at home somewhere to cycle and plug in a laptop. Give humans at play... Well, more play.
Long/short for me - make places for humans, not for mono-use... Am looking forward to reading the rest of this!

While professions look very different, they all solve the same problem: nobody can know everything. As we move from a print based society, to an internet society, how do we organise work? It is useful to think about the tasks that change.
