Enjoy the present moment

What does the world look like through the eyes of a dog? My dachshund, Ginny, doesn't rush to get things done, doesn't worry about tomorrow, and has no problems with work/life balance. She naturally practices mindfulness and enjoys the present moment.

Focus on quality, not quantity

Finding Time: How Corporations, Individuals, and Families Can Benefit from New Work Practices (Collection on Technology and Work) Finding Time: How Corporations, Individuals, and Families Can Benefit from New Work Practices by Leslie A. Perlow


My rating: 4 of 5 stars
Subversive study! Perlow's research shows that most corporations rate their workers on quantity (time spent at work), not quality (productivity). When we focus on the task and block out interruptions, we can get a lot more done and enjoy a more balanced life.
