Work productivity applications are great. But addressing unconscious unproductive tendencies works smarter. So challenge your routines and practices.

“Hard work never hurt anyone,” said Mark Twain. “As long as it is observed from a distance.”

Does that sound like you? Do you take pride in slacking off? Are you a professional couch potato? Or do you use your time wisely? You don’t really have to work harder if you work smarter.

People who work for themselves have the most challenging bosses. But most of us will not be self-employed.

In the coming years, the vast majority of workers will have to work under the supervision of someone. A manager. Or supervisor. Team leader. Maybe an algorithm! Or robot! These things are in our future, so we’d better suck it up and learn to work better and not whine longer.
