Dear Subscriber,
It’s the holidays but you need to stay productive
Christmas is only 72 hours away and these are the toughest times to stay productive as a worker. Research shows that employee productivity diminishes rapidly after December 15th. This is because workers are distracted as they bask in the joy of the festive season. Who can blame them? 2020 has been one hell of a year.
