Fitter happier more productive
This is not a post about Radiohead, but they did have the right idea If there’s one word I’ve had to use over the past year more than I ever wanted to, it’s “efficient.” Actually, “creative” or “effective” could fit in that line, but “efficient” does arise a lot, to a rather cringeworthy degree. I…
