πͺ±π¦ When are you the most productive? ππ¦
The Post has been diving into our daily habits, and research suggests being an early bird or a night owl isnβt just a choiceβitβs biology! We all have that specific time when our brains finally "click" into gear.
This raises a big question for the modern workplace. To get the best out of everyone, should employers accommodate our natural body clocks? This idea is at the heart of the four-day work week and flexible scheduling movements.
We want to hear from you:
1. When does your brain "click" into gear?
2. Would a flexible (or shortened) schedule change the way you work?
Premature theft
Increasing the cost of fuel in anticipation before any actual justification I regard as blatant premeditated theft.
The CEO's who condone this premature theft for their share holders BEFORE they have any justified reasons will not be so quick and prematurely reduce the price when the situation is reduced.
Nor if the situation is quickly restored will they arrange payback if they have over reacted.
Thank you for your attention to this matter.
Poll: If we want to reduce speeding, what do you think actually changes driver behaviour? π»π¨π
In the Post's article on speeding penalties, the question is asked whether speeding fines are truly about road safety, or are they just a way to boost revenue for the Crown?
What do you think? Should speeding motorists receive speeding fines or demerit points?
-
35.8% The sting of a fine (Money talks!)
-
64.2% The threat of demerit points (Nobody wants to lose their license!)
