Our employees have been begging us to try a four-day workweek. I'm open-minded, so we ran a pilot. Monday through Thursday. Same salary. Same workload. Productivity actually increased. People were happier. Turnover dropped. It was one of the most successful HR experiments we've ever conducted. So naturally we ended it. If they can get five days of work done in four days, imagine how much they can get done in five.

Apparently people are folding their grocery bags into tiny perfect triangles now. I thought we all agreed the proper storage method was to nominate the strongest grocery bag and stuff 63 other bags inside it, like our mothers and grandmothers before us.

instead of saying “every monday” “every tuesday” etc we should say daily but based on the day of the week. mondaily. tuesdaily. wednesdaily. thursdaily. fridaily. saturdaily. sundaily. it feels like this was the whole purpose of their structure as words

@wayneriekhof Being a PI seems so darn stressful on so many levels. Don't forget to prioritize self care....you have to put your metaphorical oxygen mask on first before helping others. Sending calm, happy vibes your way!
