    This is a really interesting talk on why so many people struggle to be productive at work and how it impacts our lives; this connects well with Gratton's comments on fragmentation in the workplace.

    Is there a trade-off between meaning and money? According to the author of this article there definitely is. It is up to the individual to create a life where there is no trade-off and where meaning plays a role in a life well lived.

    After finishing up my shift paper this week I thought I'd find a resource that focuses on the future of work and what it holds. This two page article is available in PDF and looks at some issues that Gratton discussed. How technology, demographics and globalization will all impact the working world.

    As I was reading through some of The Shift textbook for the case study assignment, I was reminded of the importance of simplicity- of not following all the latest technology trends, trying to live more sustainably, lessening spending/ consumerism/ money driven focus. I came across this post about ideas for living life more simply and thought I'd share.
