 Posted: 05/27/09 - 14:49 Post subject: Those Lazy Marathon Runners
hello,
There’s a typical news and commentary pattern where a story or posting about a corporation cracking down on non-work distractions (like checking Blackberries, accessing shopping websites, March Madness pools) is followed by a stream of rebuttals about how everyone needs a break and that being mentally rested, happy, and socially connected to peers actually makes them more efficient over the long run. The key concept here is pacing.
I’m sure most of you can remember a time when you had to leave work at exactly 5:00 but still had a bunch of work to complete at 4:30. I’ll bet you were amazingly focused and productive in that 30 minutes! Even to the point you were pretty proud at how efficient you can be. Now, why don’t you just work like that every hour, every day? If your boss watched you for those 30 minutes, would they have a right to expect you to work at your peak efficiency all the time? That’s a good reason to keep your door closed – you couldn’t do it.
