We send you off to the weekend with the hope that you’re all sorts of happy, working, and fulfilled — 9 to 5, and 5 to 9!
Wisdom from Malcolm Gladwell
The Progress Principle
Here are articles discussing Teresa Amabile and Steven Kramer's study on motivation at work, The Progress Principle.
It turns out that 95% of managers are wrong about what motivates people at work. It's not financial incentive or stress--rather, the most powerful motivator at work is the sense that you're making progress towards a meaningful goal.
The Secret to Getting Ahead?
And Eventually, You’ll Make It!
Grit vs. Talent in Progress
“Very often when we talk about the skill of ‘productivity’ what we are really talking about is ‘self-control’ — the disciplined ability to choose to do one thing at the cost of not doing another (perhaps more tempting thing).”
As the nature of work changes to more flexible design, we must learn when not to exercise our freedom.

Personal Accountability, Collective Inspiration
This guest blog post comes from Bassam Tarazi, founder of Colipera. Colipera uses both individual goal setting and the social pressure that comes from being a part of a group endeavor to help you stay committed to your goals.
We find plenty of reasons to not start; plenty of made up, self-sympathizing reasons to never see a dream or a goal through to the finish. Truth of the matter is, we allow those reasons to seep in like water in a punctured hull because we haven’t committed to the task at hand. We’re not devoted to the all-hands-on-deck mentality that is needed to keep the dream afloat.
