People who are comfortable working from home, those who have found a good balance between their life and work, will not back down now. They have tasted what it's like working from home, all the while successfully managing their personal life. This is pushing companies to adapt to the changing landscape. Today, we are using the necessary communication tools to get our work done. We interact through video calls, email more, chat more, and call more. But all these activities are happening in 2D. Despite staying in constant touch, it gives the impression of colleagues working from somewhere afar. This gap is the reason some companies have taken steps to completely scrap the work-from-home policy after the pandemic. They want to bring back that sense of community and increased collaboration in the office. So, a dichotomy exists between companies that want to pull employees to the office and employees who want to stay back at their home. The argument is, 'If I am working productively...

I was lost in the sea of tasks that I had to do. My task list was just growing, constantly overwhelming me. And then I read this article and found where I was making a mistake - I was trying to find what to do from a list that was a compendium of tasks, not a to-do list. I am a fan of making a list of tasks that I need to do. I do it for several reasons. I forget tasks, and I want to keep a log of things that I did to refer back when I need. I have a list of things that I have not planned to do today or tomorrow, but maybe I will do it in days or months to come. So, certainly, my list was too long.

I would scroll through the task list and just sit there wondering which one to pick. My task list does not have only the tasks that I need to do in my professional capacity but also family responsibilities and self-improvement tasks. I have a list of things that I...

This question occurred to me just like that. AI is taking shape. Every day it is getting better and better. And it is filling us with skepticism about our future: our jobs, the work we do, replacement, mass transition to new jobs, what kind of job that new job will be, etc. You will find people out there who are advocating that AI is good; it is not here to replace us; it will only enhance our capability to do more. Of course, it will enhance our capability. And, in fact, it is enhancing our capabilities. An email that I would take an hour to write, ChatGPT does it in a fraction of seconds. But, it is also here to be a replacement for lots of things for which we get paid. An automated email using AI will certainly replace those personal assistants people hire to write their mails. What will those people do? Unless they upgrade to something else, they will be out of the race and will be ill-fated to struggle. And it is purely evident; in fact, history has taught us, those who are capabl...
