Re: Working Too Much is Hurting Your Productivity
#2Stress is probably the worst thing that can happen to you when trying to start. Crushes your immune system and get you sick. Prevents creativity, hell keeps you from doing even mundane and simple tasks well. Makes you hell to interact with your peers, friends and family.
People are always preaching at us to work until our faces fall off, but that's just not sustainable nor productive.

#3It's amazing how few people get this.
I just started a new job and everyone is telling me how much everyone here works. I look at the products we make and the deadlines that are set and they aren't any bigger or more agressive than anywhere else that I worked.
It has just always been a part of this companies culture I guess, but I don't see the need to sit in my office for 8 extra hours a week when all I'll end up doing is bullshitting on the Internet.

I see absolutely nothing wrong with swearing. I actually have more of an issue with the automatic disapproval than a healthy spread of profanities.

I doubt it's an automatic disapproval. It's annoying because swearing is used as linkbait all the time.

Swearing serves a purpose: to express strong emotion. In this case, the author is expressing that it's really important to take breaks. I don't think there's anything wrong with that.

The trend of swearing needlessly is getting a bit old period. Regardless of personal opinions it's not particularly professional…

Now, that argument I can understand. And if that is indeed the reason for the GP, then fair enough.
But is it really any different than 'sex sells'?

I don't think it really counts as link bait if it's in the title of a presentation you gave in person to a live crowd.
