Poll: Do your kids play Fortnite? Do you have any concerns about it?

Julie Kaio Reporter from Hamilton Press

Hi neighbours,
The latest online craze, Fortnite, has a hold on young Kiwis and concerns are mounting about school children staying up too late to play the game. More than 125 million players worldwide play the game and the multi-player Battle Royale, where 100 people battle it out in a third-person shoot 'em up until the last person standing wins, is hugely popular. More details here: www.stuff.co.nz....
Tell us how you're coping with the new online craze in the comments section - are you having problems? Have you noticed a change in your child's behaviour? Are they losing sleep? How are you managing it?

A person is crossing a bridge and sees a boat full of people, yet there isn't a single person on board.
How is this possible?

🪱🐦 When are you the most productive? 🌙🦉

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

The Post has been diving into our daily habits, and research suggests being an early bird or a night owl isn’t just a choice—it’s 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?
