there's a new mixtape I did for Bass, Breaks 'N Flow and their Insomniac radio show. One hour breaky electronic music put together, available for listening here:
The last time I was behind the decks at an #NYE party was in 2010 at a club called Die Rakete in Nuremberg.
While I'm still rendering and then uploading part 2, a B2B Jungle mix with myself and Sammy B-Side, here's a recording of me spinning mostly #Techno, #House and #Breaks a little bit earlier that night to keep you going. 🔈 🎶
The surprising connection between after-hours work and decreased productivity (10min)
According to this survey, not surprisingly, it’s about quality, not quantity. Working extra hours will not increase productivity, instead often lead to burn out. And taking breaks is important. For the human operating system, downtime is not a bug, it’s a feature, and you need this downtime to recharge. https://slack.com/blog/news/the-surprising-connection-between-after-hours-work-and-decreased-productivity
PSA: Don't forget to schedule time for breaks, naps, cuddle breaks and dreaming 💚
It is totally okay to hide away in a warm and cozy spot until the weather gets better!

There are many large and #serious#problems in the world. Many people are victimized by the #system in a thousand different ways. This is not their story; it is not about their problems, but this should not be seen as minimizing them.
I'd like to talk about something a little closer to home: #employee#abuse in the #tech field. I've been in this field for <mumble> years and worked for tiny companies, medium consulting companies, large orgs, and as a one-man independent contractor.
Why do I hate it? After all, it's just stealing a little bit of personal time from the staff.
#Breaks, including lunch, are #essential for the #mental well-being of employees. All employees. They need time to decompress, to take their mind off work, to eat, to go for a walk and some fresh air, to woolgather and relax -- and have deep insights that actually help them in their work later, too.
Saying "take this training on your lunch break, you weren't doing anything anyway" is evil.
