4 Things You Can Do To Truly Disconnect From Work Over The Holidays

Image
Opinions expressed by Entrepreneur contributors are their own. Managing email anxiety is especially challenging for entrepreneurs when taking a much-needed break. You might be taking time off over the holidays to spend time with family, but mentally, you're back in the office because you can see your emails are piling up. Escaping the pressures of building and growing your business is almost impossible when you don't effectively manage your inbox. While the idea of deleting your inbox is a satisfying thought, I think most of us can agree that may not be the best customer service move. I don't think my clients would enjoy learning that their emails are being deleted simply because I'm trying to relax and recharge. Fortunately, we don't have to take such drastic measures. https://www.tausiinsider.com/4-things-you-can-do-to-truly-disconnect-from-work-over-the-holidays/?feed_id=377618&_unique_id=648fcf213c801

4 Ways Black Diversity Leaders Succeed, and How Executive Peers Can Make Sure They Do

Image
Opinions expressed by Entrepreneur contributors are their own. In a previous article, I explored several reasons Black diversity officers struggle and how their CEOs can help. That opens the door to more straight talk about how the leaders themselves can step into their success and how their executive colleagues can be part of that success story. I focus on diversity leaders who identify as Black for three reasons: a majority of diversity leaders in America are Black, their Blackness matters and the opportunities they have are familiar to every diversity leader. At this point in history, inclusive leaders are learning to focus on race and keep other aspects of identity in view simultaneously. Let's look at four ways you, as a diversity leader — or as one of your executive peers — can thrive in this vital role. 1. Ensure that the Diversity Leader's role is scoped and resourced for achievement The 'DEI Why' has to be clear and achievable. Yes, it...

New Four-Day Work Week Study Shows Impressive Results

Image
Researchers at University College Dublin, Cambridge University, and Boston College unveiled the results of their study on the four-day work week this month, revealing that 96.9% of employees at the 27 companies involved said they'd love the trial to continue. Luis Alvarez | Getty Images This comes after significant evidence has already indicated employee well-being and productivity largely improves when workers slash their hours from 40 to 35 or 36 each week. In this most recent study, employees across North America and Ireland cut their average work time down to just above 32 hours per week, on average, and still reported they felt more productive, not to mention slept and exercised more. Companies involved reported increases in revenue, too, and about two-thirds of the participating organizations said they'll continue with the four-day model.

An Existentialist Guide to Feeling Nothing

Image
I recently watched “ the greatest film of all time ,” and the most boring one. In retrospect, the title alone should have been a sufficient warning: Jeanne Dielman, 23 Quai du Commerce, 1080 Bruxelles . Alas, I’m old enough to be a bit nostalgic about massive telephone address books. And massive it is. Clocking over 200 minutes, Chantal Akerman's 1975 dreary drama follows three days in the monotonous routine of Jeanne, a widow, a mother, and a prostitute. I watched Jeanne’s autopilot existence, until, staring at her back as she washes dishes, I decided to fast-forward a couple of minutes, only to discover she was still at it. And Jeanne is equally thorough when she’s busy baking, cleaning, folding laundry, or shining her son’s shoes. She speaks so scarcely and mechanically, that it’s impossible to detect any emotion or volition beyond her carefully controlled chores . Watching Jeanne Dielman is what the word “painstaking” was invented for. Chantal...

6 of the Best Drinking Games to Play During Super Bowl LVII

Image
Photo : Pixel-Shot ( Shutterstock ) This game is nearly identical to the “drink every time” game above, but adjusted for shots, so it’s for those trying to party a little harder. The idea is to make a list of shot-worthy occurrences—like “a coach yells at a referee” or “something goes wrong during the halftime show”—and then take a shot whenever they happen. If the promise of regular shots isn’t enough for you, we have another twist for you: The “1, 2, 3" rule. The first time something from your shot list happens, you take one shot. The second time it occurs, take two. The third, three...and then hopefully you don’t push your health and safety past that point. On the other hand, you can always choose to sip instead of taking a full shot. Again, none of these party games have to involve alcohol. But they definitely can if you want them to. Super Bowl LVII is on Sunday, Feb. 12, 2023. Kickoff is scheduled for 6:30 p.m. E T /3:30 p.m. P T. https://www.tausiinsider.com/6-of-...
