Peopleware: Productive Projects and Teams

Happy and healthy teams result in productive teams, who would have thought :)

Some of my best work was done during 40 hours weeks or less. Whenever I break that rule the end result suffers because I lose creativity and focus.

It's ok to do the occasional extra time when you're really engrossed in what you're doing, but overwork has long-term negative effects.

Thanks! I'll check that out.

Couldn't agree more on the things you said.

When I started only working for 40 hours or less per week, the quality of my work improved. I guess it's because I learned how to use my time better since I know that I will only work for 40 hours or less. And most importantly, I'm happier and healthier now and I get to spend more time with family and friends :)
