☆ Why I Never Delete Any Email. I Just Archive It All.
  + stars: | 2023-03-17 | by ( Alexandra Samuel | ) www.wsj.com   time to read: 1 min
There’s no need to purge digital clutter when storage is getting ever cheaper. Instead, save everything and make it all organized and searchable. What if you had a perfect memory of every professional interaction or task you had tackled for the past 20 years? What if you could zip through your inbox in five minutes, instead of 50? It’s all possible if you embrace a single principle of digital housekeeping: Don’t delete, archive.
☆ Six Signs Your Hybrid Workplace Plan Isn’t Working
  + stars: | 2022-12-14 | by ( Alexandra Samuel | Terri Griffith | ) www.wsj.com   time to read: 1 min
Is the new hybrid plan working? That’s what a lot of companies are asking, as they step back and review their progress toward a new hybrid workplace. More and more businesses have at least a portion of employees who spend some of their time working in the office and some time working remotely, but it’s not always clear whether they’ve arrived at the “right” hybrid model—that is, the version of hybrid that boosts individual productivity, team collaboration and organizational innovation.
☆ How I Stayed Healthy While Working From Home
  + stars: | 2022-11-05 | by ( Alexandra Samuel | ) www.wsj.com   time to read: 1 min
When I returned to remote work seven years ago, I was excited about all the ways working from home could improve my well-being. I’d have time to go to the gym; to make healthy dinners for the whole family; to get a good night’s sleep each and every night. What actually happened: My baseline level of activity dwindled to zero, I ate at restaurants even more often just to get a break from the solitude of home, I gained 40 pounds, and I ended up tossing and turning at bedtime.
☆ Returning to the Office? Let’s Keep the Line Between Work and Home Blurry
  + stars: | 2022-09-24 | by ( Alexandra Samuel | ) www.wsj.com   time to read: 1 min
From laptop to laundry: The flexibility gained by blurring the boundary between our work and personal lives can benefit employees—and their bosses. It’s about time that we return to a simpler era—when work was work, and home was home. That seems to be the message I hear from bosses these days, and even from a lot of employees. After 2 ½ years, some people tell me, they are tired of the blurred lines. Employees are sick of never really being sure when the workday begins and when it ends; bosses are sick of wondering just how much work is getting done at home, and of the casualness undermining traditional workplace culture.
☆ How I Am Reducing the Stress of Returning to Business Travel
  + stars: | 2022-09-20 | by ( Alexandra Samuel | ) www.wsj.com   time to read: +1 min
Some fretting about traveling for business again is just a matter of reacclimating. Before I knew it, we were deep in conversation about our respective experiences in the tech world. After two years without business travel, I was ravenous for the excitement of establishing a new professional connection. But the flip side of excitement is anxiety—and my return to business travel has brought plenty of it. When is it worth the risk of taking off my mask in a room full of strangers?
