  • Why emails kill your efficiency and mental health (and how to correct it)
    I have published lately a post on a mindset shift: looking efficient is sometimes counter-efficient. In the latter, I suggested writing an entire post on the question of emails, and why they more often than not kill your efficiency. On average, we receive about 100 emails/day when in a leading position, and somehow I do receive about 200/day, 80 of them being somehow ‘urgent’ (though I really do not like this term; if it is really urgent, you call me and if you do not have my number, most likely your definition of urgency will not be impacting me directly).

Our approach to simple & productive living

Topics we cover

We get things DONE. Living slowly does not mean being slow. Thus, we cover methods you can use to be both productive and stress-free.

We read lots of books, because it is what I study in grad school, what I am passionate about and the core of my job as a librarian.
