I swear, every afternoon I get this sharp pain that makes it hard to think straight or finish tasks. It's gotten so bad that I'm looking up ergonomic chairs on my breaks, but my company won't pay for one. We really need to stop pretending that physical health doesn't matter for doing good work.
I saw a fish trying to swim straight but getting pushed around by the current the whole time. It hit me that this is EXACTLY how I feel in those long, pointless team updates. What's a simple trick to make work meetings less of a waste?
