We are living in a busy world.
From young to old, we seem to trap at endless schedule struggles. When was the last time, do you feel have nothing waiting for you? Lucky, if you can remember one.
For me, I have my schedules all packed till next year March, and planning for next year December.
But, why are we busy? for what are we busy? For me, it is because of work and family commitment.
I do enjoy mostly what I am doing. But recently, I find myself to be more productive if I only schedule half of time that available, and leave the rest of half empty for other things.
For example, if I work half day, it seems I will be more productive than I work full day. I think, the reason is the moment I realize that I only have half of time I used to have, I will be more focused thus, done work faster.
That leads me to think, how many of us who are working full time, are actually wasting half of our time? What about company feels when employee actually can work as fast as half of the time?
That boils down the productivity issue, the engagement issue and motivation issue. But if I can use half of time to do other things, to learn a new skill, to exercise, to spend time with others, I enlarge more in my career development.
But, it may not necessary work for certain types of job. Maybe in the future, the part time employment will be a norm.
