Everyday it's something.

I'm 26, living in Brooklyn, and a full-time graphic designer.
Life is pretty boring, but only sometimes.

fastcompany: Bosses, Stop Caring If Your Employees Are At Their Desks Kelly and Moen—who published their work this week in The Journal of Health and Social Behavior—found that employees who switched to ROWE took better care of themselves. Not only did they get an extra 52 minutes of sleep before workdays on average, they were also less likely to feel obligated to work when sick and more likely to see a doctor when they needed to. And the turnover rate among employees that switched to ROWE was only 6%, compared to 11% with the control group. In addition, their increased sense of schedule control and reduced work-family conflict led to increased self-reported energy levels and decreased psychological distress. I agree with this. Also, now that I’m unemployed, I’ve never worked harder.

Bosses, Stop Caring If Your Employees Are At Their Desks

Kelly and Moen—who published their work this week in The Journal of Health and Social Behavior—found that employees who switched to ROWE took better care of themselves.

I agree with this. Also, now that I’m unemployed, I’ve never worked harder.
