How to put more hours back in your day:
1. Automate what you can.
2. Outsource what you can.
3. Don't meet when a Slack or email will do.
4. Stop treating all decisions like big decisions.
5. Bundle unpleasant tasks with enjoyable ones. https://t.co/IJdBiteqRi

"Rise and grind" is the motto of the grind subculture, which values long hours and a strong work ethic. I've struggled with sleep most of my life, and many employees sacrifice sleep to balance their work responsibilities. Lack of sleep isn't healthy. https://t.co/kvrrHq0I9R

Job seekers who want #remotework or the flexiblity to #workfromhome often encounter difficulties when searching for jobs. These terms are not used consistently across organizations. A new service, FlexIndex, lets users search across thousands of employers. https://t.co/VRChP2HgeR
