21 Productive Things to Do During Your Commute

 https://www.entrepreneur.com/living/21-productive-things-to-do-on-your-commute/447294?utm_source=pocket-newtab-intl-en Getting to work daily can be exhausting, whether you're driving solo, riding public transportation, or carpooling with colleagues. Most people dread their daily commutes and it's easy to understand why. Who really wants to waste their precious time before and after working hours cooped up in a car, bus, or train? Moreover, commuting is unproductive and makes work itself more challenging. The Centre for Transport & Society surveyed approximately 26,000 workers in 2020, and they found that commute length was negatively correlated with job satisfaction. In the survey, commute length was also found to be correlated with leisure-time satisfaction. In other words, the longer the commute, the less enjoyable people's time outside of work becomes. But do employees really dislike their commute? Well, RingCen...

Entrepreneurial Stress: Dealing with Expectations

Sadhguru Questioner:A main stress point for any manager or an entrepreneur is to manage peer group relationships. After all, many enterprises start with friends and family. We find that entrepreneurs go through a lot of stress and anxiety when they are building their enterprise, especially when the enterprise is doing well. The whole burden of societal expectations – whether it’s from family, friends, or even the media - can be fairly onerous. What advice would you give entrepreneurs who have to deal with balancing relationships at one end and yet keeping the focus on performance? Sadhguru:One thing entrepreneurs should understand is the meaning of being an entrepreneur. An entrepreneur is someone who has chosen to do what he wants with his life. When you’re doing what you want with your life, that is the greatest joy that you can have. But slowly, you forget that you are doing what you want. You start working for somebody else’s exp...

How This Undervalued Habit Became the Secret to My Productivity — And Changed My Life

https://www.entrepreneur.com/living/how-daily-exercise-helped-me-lead-a-truly-productive-life/444624?utm_source=pocket_discover_self-improvement   At the start of 2014, I couldn't run a mile. That year, I began to test theories about change and growth. I wanted to know if simple effort and consistent practice are enough to truly improve our skills and abilities. Turns out, they are. At the end of 2014, I ran my first official 5K race. By the end of 2015, I had run 20 half-marathons. Today, I've run over 200 half marathons and 11 full marathons, totaling 12,000 miles. I once "hated" the idea of running. Now, it's my greatest love in life. The biggest surprise I've had is running hasn't just transformed me physically — it's transformed me mentally, too. Here's what it's taught me: 1. Sometimes, life is hard — but we can do hard things Running, especially in the beginning, was incredibly difficu...

The Group Dynamics That Give Power to Bad Bosses

 https://greatergood.berkeley.edu/article/item/the_group_dynamics_that_give_power_to_bad_bosses?utm_source=pocket_collection_story Have you ever had a really bad boss? Think Alec Baldwin as Blake in Glengarry Glen Ross , who announces that “coffee’s for closers only” and then threatens the salesmen he supervises with a number of choice terms not suitable to repeat here. Few leaders use quite so much verbal abuse, profanity, and fear to motivate employees. But plenty of leaders use similar, if less extreme, tactics. Deborah Gruenfeld would like to know why so many people put up with them. Gruenfeld, a professor of organizational behavior at Stanford Graduate School of Business and an expert on the psychology of power, is interested in “dominant actors” like Blake: leaders who assert power by being the most competitive, most aggressive, and most controlling person in the room. “There is this tendency for people ...

Seven Tips for Finding Happiness at Work

 https://getpocket.com/explore/item/seven-tips-for-finding-happiness-at-work?utm_source=pocket-newtab-intl-en Work, it’s something most of us do though it isn’t always enjoyable. Whether it’s long hours, gruelling tasks or just the repetitive nature of a day-to-day routine, work can sometimes be something we have to do rather than something we want to do. But given that the average person will spend 90,000 hours at work over a lifetime it makes sense to try and enjoy it if you can. So what can you do to be happier at work and reduce stress? I was the lead scientist in a government project that looked at how our wellbeing and emotional resilience can change over a lifetime. As part of this project, the team, with help from think-tank the New Economics Foundation , identified several things that can reduce stress and enhance wellbeing and happiness – all of which can be applied to the workplace. So what he...

Many mountaineers spend years gaining the experience, skills, physical fitness, and mental toughness needed to make the trek, yet few make it to the top. Since Edmund Hillary and Tenzing Norgay first reached the mountain’s summit in 1953, only about 5,000 people have followed.
