Without effective teamwork, productivity and quality of work will likely suffer, even with a group composed of multiple brilliant individuals. Likewise, without effective teams, companies will struggle to keep pace with competitors who do have effective teams.

Multiple studies have shown that promoting good teamwork in the workplace will have positive effects on productivity, quality of work, creativity, innovation and job satisfaction, all of which benefit the company itself.

In a recent study by Stanford, participants who were working on a team as opposed to working alone persevered longer on difficult tasks, showed more interest and enjoyment in working on the tasks, required less self-regulatory effort to complete tasks, and generally performed better on the tasks. The participants who were part of a team even decided to do more tasks related to those performed in the study in a personal setting 1-2 weeks after the study.

First and foremost, it is important that we focus on creating diverse teams rather than teams of all like-minded people. A group of people with different backgrounds are more likely to bring diverse perspectives and ideas to the table. With more perspectives, comes more thorough decision making. We often tend to want to surround ourselves with people who think and act in ways that reflect our own thoughts and actions.

When team members are unsure of their own tasks and responsibilities, it often creates tension within a team. It is important for each team member to know exactly what he or she is responsible for so that there is no overlap in projects. If multiple employees are working on the same task due to confusion in responsibility, invaluable time and team effort spent on the task are wasted. Each individual should have responsibility in reaching the team goals as well as the tools and mutual support to obtain good results. Setting clear goals for each team member will help keep people aligned on their assigned tasks and responsibilities.

Evidence has shown that strong teamwork has the potential to increase employee satisfaction and productivity, while decreasing turnover and absenteeism, ultimately assisting the company in reaching higher profit margins. Promoting successful teamwork in the workplace will benefit your company in numerous ways. However, strong teams are not thrown together overnight.

If you do not realise this, and assume that everyone who says they are working eight hours per day actually is, you are probably going to wreck your mental health trying to keep up with them. Stop it at once.

I can sometimes do 4-6 hours of flow-state work (e.g. debugging a hard problem). This requires a problem with tight feedback loops, no interruptions, and a good physical and mental health day. I almost never get this combination at the moment, and when I had normal jobs this happened maybe a couple of times per year for a few days running at most each time.

Apparently my repeatedly explicitly saying that this is career-specific advice and the details vary, and that also the way we treat service workers is bad, was insufficient for people to understand that this is career-specific advice and the way we treat service workers is bad, so let me be more explicit about failures to generalise.

The budget can and should be heterogenous, with certain amounts of time allocated for different types of work that drain you differently, and should be based on what you actually think you can realistically do in a day. For example, I think the following would be a reasonable budget for me in a full-time programming job:

Thank you for explaining this, it is very useful! However I object to your framing of 'this is everyone, oh except for those few routine workers, who aren't us of course' (perhaps this wasn't intended to reach 'those' people but I came across it and now I'm annoyed).

There are many more examples of people who do work full time hours such as waiters, call centre assistants, factory packers, drivers, hairdressers, cleaners, chefs and so on, who often get very few and short breaks (eg my friend gets 20 minutes per 8 hour shift at a shop). In my experience doing service jobs one common phrase is 'if there's time to lean, there's time to clean' (although there are natural breaks in some of these jobs).

I agree with your other points though, it isn't taxing mentally - apart from the often boring soul-sucking nature of some 'routine'/low-paid jobs...I have met many who hated their jobs in the service industry and I would hate to do full time in it. Minimum wage, too! Or 10p extra an hour for team leaders (at Wetherspoons that is). It would be great if everyone had the capability/talent/drive/intelligence/fortune to end up in a job where you only have to work up to four hours a day for a much improved paycheck. Except, no, we still need people in all those other jobs. Let's just be glad we aren't like those suckers!

Sorry if this is a low-awareness comment I just felt compelled to release my frustrations. I was already upset about inequalities in the workforce and generally and this has exacerbated it, even though I appreciate that just a few hours of more mentally intensive work can be taxing enough to correctly constitute a full working day. Maybe I won't agree with this later

The short version is this: People don\u2019t work nearly as much as you think they do, because everything we say about working hours is a fractal of lies (and indeed one of my examples in the fractal of lies post was about this sort of dynamic!), where everything is based on lies people tell about lies being told to them about\u2026 etc.

The details of this are somewhat career specific, and my experience is mostly with a mix of software development, writing, coaching, and consulting, so I\u2019ll mostly talk about that. I think the general point - that people typically work less than they claim - holds across the board, but how much that actually is will vary by profession.

Most days I can do somewhere between one and two hours of hard thinky work. Writing, programming, etc. Good days or easy tasks it might be three. It\u2019s rarely four, and over a week almost never averages more than two.

Four hours of coaching in a day, i.e. face to face time in which I have to be on and intelligently responding, is pretty close to my absolute limit - I can do five in a push but I will not be very competent for the fifth - and I cannot do this two days running. I have estimated 20 hours to be my absolute upper bound for coaching I could do in a week, and I\u2019ve set my comfortable limit as 10 hours if I want to be able to maintain little things like getting any writing done or having remotely functional mental health1.

For example, a day in which I run a group workshop (two hours work), write a piece (one to two hours of work), and do some nonfiction reading (half an hour to an hour) is in fact quite a busy day. I can manage one of those a week, I can probably manage two, but the rest of the week I\u2019ll be a bit drained, and if I tried to do that every day I would probably end up pretty exhausted.

My health and mental energy are a bit erratic, but I don\u2019t think this is an unusually low amount of work, and I\u2019m generally considered quite productive. Certainly at no point in my career as a programmer was there ever a suggestion that I wasn\u2019t doing enough work when keeping to this sort of schedule (there have been a few periods where I was genuinely not doing any work due to mental health crises, but in those cases I was absolutely not doing two hours of work a day, and many days I was doing zero).

Some of that is because I\u2019m good at getting things done in the time available to me, but most of that is that nobody else was doing more work than this either, even if in some cases they believed they were. They\u2019re at their computer all day, but a lot of that is spent on Twitter, reddit, staring into space. A great deal of one\u2019s work day is spent drifting, and this is considered normal, because you have to be present but can\u2019t work for all that time.

I certainly don\u2019t think this is just a programmer thing. Certainly if you look at advice to writers, they tell you to count on somewhere between two and four hours of writing in a given day, and this roughly tracks my experience with writing too. I don\u2019t have good evidence from this, but my anecdotal impression of people who are telling you that they work 60-80 hour weeks is that they\u2019re lying and/or deluding themselves about how much time they actually spend working, because there\u2019s an incentive to be seen to be working long hours, but there are such diminishing returns on actually working long hours that there\u2019s very little incentive to actually do the extra work because it doesn\u2019t help anyone.

For other more routine work, I\u2019m sure there are people who work more than this. Factory workers and shop workers seem to be able to manage longer days. I think however this is because a) Their work requires less intense concentration, so is less subject to hard limits on ability to actually do it when tired b) They, like us, have a lot more breaks in their schedule than they officially say they do and c) Their work is, in fact, often exhausting, but they lack the leverage to say no to it. 2351a5e196
