- #220: After the Vacated Holiday, Relieved To Be Back in the Calm of the Cubicle
We seem to have a knack for kidding ourselves that a holiday is as good as a vacation.
1 min - #219: It Helps To Know Why You’re Laboring on the Payroll
Be warned, this piece is meant to irritate you on Labor Day (in the USA and maybe elsewhere with the “u” laboured back into labor).
1 min - #218: If You Flow Against Change, You’ll Be the Odd Lot for Sale
Let's change how we look at change to see if we can change our attitude toward change.
1 min - #217: When Does Stubbornness Make Nonsense of Persistence?
If at first you don’t succeed, trying again and again might be mere stubbornness.
1 min - #216: Success Flows When You Are Intentionally Deliberate
Some time ago a friend told me that she is now deliberately without intentions. Confused, I asked her to clarify.
1 min - #215: If You Must Assume, Assume Loudly and Openly
Thanks to Murphy, we know that if something can go wrong, it will. But that does not mean we should help Murphy.
1 min - #214: Are You Consistent or Stubborn?
If you always do the same thing in the same situation, then you are being consistent. But what if the situation has changed? Or new facts emerge?
1 min - #213: Want To Perform Better? Then Sleep at Work.
Oh, these lazy, hazy days of summer. The perfect time to sleep at work. You’ve never done that?
1 min - #264: Don’t Tell, but Cheating Boosts Creativity
This is Part 3 of 3 of "If You Want To Be More Creative, Do This First: Boost Cognition, Cacophony and Cheating"
A picture may paint a thousand words, but that sort of painting will no longer happen in this newsletter. It seems that pictures in emails add more than just a thousand extra words. They also trigger spam detectors and other creative AI thingies that are designed to make life better for us but don’t.
From now on you will have to “picture this” without pictures from me. But don’t fret. I will give you three words to boost your creative picturing of this and of that.
Cognition. Cacophony. Cheating.

About NonsenseAtWork
From the publisher's feed
Boost your career and success by learning to deal with the nonsense of pleasing a boss, playing nice with colleagues, making subordinates productive, and living a life. (Why should you learn to deal with nonsense at work? Because nonsense stops you from being successful. Nonsense is always at work. It never stops. That’s the bad news. The good news is that there is always some sense in nonsense, if you look for it. And if you are willing to look for it, time and again you will find that you can make the nonsense at work work for you.)
