Wall Street Journal: The Art of Quitting Early on Fridays
In this article in The Wall Street Journal, I shared my tips for how to create your own Summer Friday, even if you don’t have a formal policy. Here are some of the tips I mention in the article:
Create a MIT list (Most Important Things) so you know what to focus on and can feel more comfortable ending the day once you accomplish your tasks.
Negotiate deadlines around new asks so you can create flexibility to complete on a timeline that works for your Summer Friday plans.
