Work smarter, not harder. Or just let us do it for you. Chapter 1: The Big Lie of the Busy Badge You know the type: striding into Monday morning meetings like they’ve just finished solving climate change, three coffees in, laptop festooned with motivational stickers. They work late, answer emails at midnight, and proudly wear…

Welcome to Winter: Where Dreams Go to Hibernate and You Keep Working It’s 5:45pm. The sky is pitch black, the wind is howling through every crevice of your poorly insulated home office, and your fingers are so cold they’ve lost their ability to form coherent sentences. You squint at your computer screen, now basked in…
