  1. 1.According to behavioral scientist and Harvard Business School professor Ashley Whillans, "always-on" work culture is not only ruining our personal well-being — but our work, as well.
    2. In one study, researchers recruited parents who were visiting a science museum with their kids. Some parents were told to check their phone as much as possible; others were told to check their phone as little as possible. After the visit, parents who used their phones reported that the experience was significantly less meaningful. They also felt much lonelier.
    3. These constant interruptions come at a cost to organizations, too. Companies lose 32 days of productivity each year to employee depression, which is often caused by the stress and burnout of our always-on culture. Despite knowing better, I, too, have found myself focusing on “urgent work distractions” over important life moments. Most recently, I found myself texting a client while in the middle of my first child’s first ultrasound ... happy client, guilty mom-to-be. When you add up all of these moments, the sum total is a life shortchanged on meaning, joy, connection and even memory.
    4. Now is our opportunity to create a new culture that respects time. And the way to make this really big change is through small steps that we can take right now. The first step that we need to take is to reframe rest. Another strategy you can take is to create clear boundaries for your time off. To uphold these personal goals, work together as a team. Set team goals for personal time. Do it publicly, collect data and hold each other accountable.

    2. Parents were told to check their phone as often as possible; others were told to check their phone as rarely as possible.Parents ended up feeling much more alone.
    3. Companies lose 32 days of productivity every year due to employee depression, which is often caused by stress and burnout of our permanent culture. Most recently, she discovered that I was texting with a client during the first ultrasound of her first child... a happy client, a guilty expectant mother. When you add up all these moments, the total sum is a life devoid of meaning, joy, connection and even memory.

    1)No,it’s not. Because the constant creep of work into our personal lives can increase our stress and undermine our happiness.
    2)After the visit, parents who used their phones reported that the experience was significantly less meaningful. They also felt much lonelier.
    3)These constant interruptions come at a cost to organizations, too. Companies lose 32 days of productivity each year to employee depression, which is often caused by the stress and burnout of our always-on culture.
    4)One specific strategy we can take is to treat our upcoming weekend like a vacation.
    Another strategy you can take is to create clear boundaries for your time off. Instead of saying, "I'm out of the office. Feel free to Slack me whenever,” say, "I'll be offline. Call me only if it's urgent."
    Lastly, you can negotiate for more time to prevent work from creeping into your personal life.
    You can ask for more time on adjustable deadlines at work. If your client asks for a deliverable Monday morning, ask for an extension until Tuesday afternoon so you don’t find yourself working on your well-deserved weekend. And don't worry too much about reputation. Quality truly is the metric that matters most.

    4.The first step that we need to take is to reframe rest. Reflect for a moment about what you think about when you hear the word “rest.” When we do have time off, we need to find ways in which we can enjoy the present moment and savor the leisure time that we have available.
    Treat our upcoming weekend like a vacatio. Another strategy you can take is to create clear boundaries for your time off.

  5. 1.It is incorrect to be in touch in non-working time because it destroys not only personal well-being, but also work.

  7. 1)No, according to the speaker, this is not normal. I also believe that in your free time you need to completely abstract yourself from work and rest.
    2)Some parents were encouraged to check their phone as often as possible; others were told to check their phone as little as possible. After the visit, parents who used their phones reported that the experience was significantly less meaningful. Plus, they felt much more alone.
    3)Companies lose 32 days of productivity each year to employee depression, which is often caused by the stress and burnout of our always-on culture.
    4)Ashley Willans suggests that you think for a moment about what you think of when you hear the word "rest."
    We need to treat this coming weekend like a vacation. Another strategy you can use is to set clear boundaries for your free time.
