Sweet Reason with a dose of Common Sense
HERE’S ANOTHER WRINKLE to the debate over remote and hybrid work — it’s called chronoworking. That’s not a word that rolls off the tongue easily, and it was new to me when I read a BBC Worklife story about it titled The ‘chronoworking’ productivity hack that helps workers excel.

I’M NOT GOING TO spend a lot of time writing about the ebb and flow or the ups and downs of Artificial Intelligence. There’s already a TON of that coming from everywhere else. This isn’t a big surprise. As I wrote here recently, “You’ll be seeing a lot more stories about the overhyping of AI
