How to Leave Work Time at Work
Рет қаралды 2,894

Co-hosts Becca Rashid and Ian Bogost examine the habits that shrink our available time, and Ignacio Sánchez Prado, a professor of Latin American Studies at Washington University in St. Louis, offers his reflections on American culture and shares suggestions for how to use the time we do have, for life.
This episode was co-hosted by Becca Rashid and Ian Bogost. Becca Rashid also produces the show. Editing by Jocelyn Frank and Claudine Ebeid. Fact-check by Ena Alvarado. Engineering by Rob Smierciak. The managing editor of How to Keep Time is Andrea Valdez. Write to us at howtopodcast@theatlantic.com.

Interesting, but the discussion didn’t consider peer pressure from work colleagues. It’s not only bosses who can monitor your work time. Toxic workplaces encourage peers to monitor each other and bullying can be rife. Reading a book at your desk for 10 minutes every hour (as suggested) would result in being reported to management and allegations of skiving.

I’ve found two good strategies. During thr meaningful moments at work, i try to remember that these moments are for me and are quality life moments. And during the other useless, horrible, non-meaningful moments of work, i try to do as little of it as possible and to try ro occupy myself in better ways while i do it.

Also, i had to laugh outloud when he mentioned the two hour lunch. That sounds horrible. But besides that, my job provides 20 minutes max

Take the train, then you always need to leave on time.
