Dave Crenshaw on why you should build mini vacations into your week

Dave Crenshaw on why you should build mini vacations into your weekDave Crenshaw on why you should build mini vacations into your weekCall it work-life rhythm elend work-life balance if you want to achieve it. Thats according to Dave Crenshaw, author, time-management expert, and speaker. He recently publishedThe Power of Having Fun.The reason why I prefer the term work-life rhythm to work-life balance is because balance implies its a one-to-one ratio, like its on a scale, and we have to make sure that we spend just as much personal time as we do with work time, Crenshaw told Ladders.Follow Ladders on FlipboardFollow Ladders magazines on Flipboard covering Happiness, Productivity, Job Satisfaction, Neuroscience, and moraBut of course, no one is capable of that life just doesnt work that way. Things go really fast and its hard for us to keep up, and were never going to achieve a one-to-one balance, Crenshaw said. But what we can do is we can find the right pace of life, the right amo unt of time that we work, and the right amount of time that we need to take a break, in order for work to be productive.Everyone has their own rhythm.For some people, that is going to be a very fast pace of life, and for others, its going to be a mora relaxed pace. The question is finding out what your rhythm is.Crenshaw uses a few concepts to achieve work-life rhythm.The line-in-the-sand theoryThe line is the sand in a boundary, a way of saying what you will not do. For example, your line in the sand might be that you will stop working at six oclock, and absolutely stop checking emails from home after 8 pm.The line in the sand says, There is a line which I will not cross, a point in the day where Im giving myself permission to turn off the phone, to turn off the email, explained Crenshaw. Without that permission, people will work as long as it takes. If you give yourself permission to work as long as it takes, guess what happens? Youre going to work late, long hours. Thats not prod uctive.Having a boundary, he says, means that to finish on time, youre going to have to be more focused. Im going to have to reduce the amount of interruptions that Im causing for myself or that others are causing for me.Boundaries boost creativity and qualityIts almost like a game, said Crenshaw. It creates an opportunity to look for new things and be more creative and do work in a different way. Constraints are surprisingly effective at helping people their work.Dont forget to have funHaving fun is critical to effective productivity, said Crenshaw. Its purpose in work and play is two-pronged Having fun is essential to not just feeling happy, but also productivity.Unfortunately, Crenshaw said, a lot of people put fun as their last priority and only if they can fit it in.It should be a top priority, he said. In fact, when youre scheduling your year, vacation should be one of the very first things that you schedule because then you have to work around it.But vacations arent just yea rly, said Crenshaw. They should come in bursts. Monthly, daily, weekly, you want to have little pockets of fun. They should function like mini oases.An oasis is a moment in that journey where you get refreshed, Crenshaw said. Well, you can put little oases into your day and into your week. Even if its just for five minutes where you say, This is my sanctuary from the rest of the day. Im going to spend five minutes watching funny videos on YouTube. That five minutes is so powerful on either side. One, because you know that the break is coming and its going to provide a relief. Then afterward, because it provided a relief youre more productive.Not only is it good for you, but its good for your work.When you take these breaks to have fun, no matter how you define fun, your productivity increases. Your ability to feel happiness, and your ability to feel that work-life balance improves significantly.More work does not equal more productivityUltimately, Crenshaw says, in order to achieve work-life rhythm, we have to let go of the idea that working harder means that we are more productive.There is so much guilt and so much pressure in our society to continue to be busy, he said.Were not rats in a maze, but yet, so many of us treat ourselves as if we are. Were depriving ourselves of those moments, thinking that were being more productive when in fact, were going to get worse and worse.Its not a matter of being lazy, its a matter of being smart. When you take time off on a consistent basis not all the time, but on a regular interval, thats smart. You will get things done. You will be more productive.You might also enjoyNew neuroscience reveals 4 rituals that will make you happyStrangers know your social class in the first seven words you say, study finds10 lessons from Benjamin Franklins daily schedule that will double your productivityThe worst mistakes you can make in an interview, according to 12 CEOs10 habits of mentally strong people

3 smart career moves from Greys Anatomy you should copy

3 smart career moves from Greys Anatomy you should copy3 smart career moves from Greys Anatomy you should copyA consistent ratings smash since its debut in 2005, medical drama Greys Anatomy just premiered its 15th () season on ABC. Viewers continue to tune in for the shows high-stakes storylines, the characters dramatic relationships, and the inner strength of the doctors at Seattle Grace, particularly the women.Since the beginning of the shows run, the ladies of Greys Anatomy have provided excellent examples of how to handle tough workplace situations, and many of them serve as powerful role models for working women. To prove this point, weve compiled a list of 3Greys Anatomy career moves that professional fans would do well to mimic and 1 that should be avoided whenever possible.1. Refuse to apologize for your own self-confidencelike Cristina YangA common issue among early-career professionals,imposter syndromeis an unsubstantiated fear that youll be unmasked as a fraud while your e excelling in your career pursuits. And it plagues plenty of women in the workforce. If this sounds familiar, tzu siches a former character from Greys who can provide the best possible example of no-holds-barred self-confidence Cristina Yang (Sandra Oh).Cristina is a gifted surgeon and a brilliant addition to the Seattle Grace staff, and she knows it. Although zu sich career at Seattle Grace included a number of harrowing events that temporarily threw zu sich off her game, she came back stronger than ever, bolstered by her inner reserves of strength and self-esteem.Cristina also took the initiative to encourage her friends and coworkers whenever possible, often through the effective tactic of tough love,like when she told younger resident Lexie Grey, Have some fire. Be unstoppable. Be a force of nature. Be better than anyone here, and dont give a damn what anyone thinks. These words reihe especially true to Lexie (and all the viewers at home), because based on everything we know ab out Cristina as a character, she genuinely lives by this credo. Channeling Cristinas confidence whenever possible will make you a strong leader and an even stronger professional. Youve got this.2. Learn to bounce back from career downfallslike Miranda BaileyATV boss for the ages, Miranda Bailey (Chandra Wilson)s rise to the top of the surgical field was not without struggles. Like Cristina, Miranda nearly gave up on surgery after a traumatizing event occurs (in her case, a pair of contaminated surgical gloves worn by Miranda in the OR caused the infection-related deaths of 3 patients). But instead of sidelining herself, Miranda took the time she needed to grieve and collect her thoughts, then returned triumphantly to help her colleague Meredith Grey during childbirth. Once back in the field, Miranda continues her upward trajectory, eventually becoming the first woman of color to hold the Chief of Surgery title at Seattle Grace.Mirandas path includes numerous obstructions, but shes t he master of getting back on track once she feels mentally and emotionally prepared to do so. As anambitiouswoman who values her career, she refuses to let failures, even major ones, derail her progress.3. Balance work and family in a way that makes sense to you like Meredith GreyWork-life balance remains a constant challenge for professionals. And when a family enters the equation, the situation only becomes more complex. Greys Anatomys leading lady, Meredith Grey (Ellen Pompeo) herself, learned this first-hand after marrying her long-time love interest Dr. Derek Shepherd (Patrick Dempsey) aka McDreamy. The joined-in-marriage Meredith and Derek adopted a daughter, and Meredith gave birth to a son shortly after. But while Derek had promised Meredith the ability to fully return to work after childbirth (and she did come back to the OR quickly), he soon accepted a job in Washington, DC, uprooting Meredith and his family with little care for her career aspirations. This caused tension between Meredith and her colleagues (particularly her close friend Cristina), but the issue changed entirely when Derek died in a car accident. Meredith no longer had to settle in DC, but her work life became complicated by the full responsibility of her children and coping with her grief.In spite of these ridiculously difficult (and dramaticit is a TV drama, after all) circumstances, Meredith forged ahead, ultimately returning to Seattle and becoming chief of general surgery. Meredith knew that her experience with motherhood needed to include a professional side to her life, and although the situations surrounding her were far from idealand even tragic she figured out a way to make it work for her and for her family.4. Dont let professional boundaries fall away like Izzie Stevens didAll individuals with careers are also human beings therefore, interpersonal relationships between coworkers and between workers and clients certainly happen. And on Greys Anatomy, they happen just abou t every episode, with the shows longer-running characters claiming long histories of romantic connections to other doctors. In the case of Izzie Stevens (Katherine Heigl), however, the lack of professional boundaries crosses every conceivable line.In one particularly egregious example, Izzie fell in love with one of her patients, who returned her affections. The patient, Denny (Jeffrey Dean Morgan) needed a heart transplant. And Izzie, overcome with her personal feelings for Denny, cut his ventricular assist device in an effort to move him up the donor list, resulting in his death. While this may be an extreme situation (again, this IS a TV drama), Izzie displayed a blatant disregard for professional responsibility, which all working people need to value.A version of this post previously appeared onFairygodboss, the largest career community that helps women get the inside scoop on pay, corporate culture, benefits, and work flexibility.

Researcher Focus Emerging Technology

Researcher Focus Emerging Technology Researcher Focus Emerging Technology Researcher Focus Emerging TechnologyInterview conducted by Paul GlanvilleProfessor Yonas Tadesse from the Department of Mechanical Engineering at the University of Texas at Dallas talks about Energy Harvesting from Human MotionLearn more about this research through the 2013 ASME Congress Proceedings Rotary Multimodal Energy Harvesting Device.Energy harvesting is a hot topic right now, with the explosion of web-enabled technology beyond the traditional computing hardware we have a lot more gadgets requiring power than we used to. Whether it is the soon-to-be released Apple Watch as a flashy example of wearable technology or remote sensors monitoring ur buildings and infrastructure, a constant challenge to extending the web of our internet of things is keeping these devices powered that are often out of reach from our electricity grid. Energy harvesting, generating power at or near the point of use for these devi ces, is the solution to this problem using available resources light, temperature or pressure gradients, or in the case of research from UT-Dallas, human motion. In this interview, Professor Yonas Tadesse describes how his team investigated a method of generating power from the linear motion of our arms and legs, in the hope that this rotary multimodal energy harvesting device can serve our power-hungry gadgets.How did you initially get into your research concerning energy harvesting technologies and their integration with human motion?Initially, my graduate advisor welches the one who inspired me to pursue in this research area. I was a graduate student at the Center for Intelligent Material Systems and Structures (CIMSS) at Virginia Tech where extensive researches are carried out, and I continued doing the research by integrating with various systems at UT Dallas.Your research has both experimental and analytical results. How challenging was it to validate one set of results with the other?The most interesting part of the study was the design of the energy harvesting system. It combines two transduction mechanisms in one system, and requires initial oscillation to continuously generate power from a vibrating source. We realized that some of the modeling didnt account for the practical scenario as a result, we made some design changes. Usually modelling ignores some of the practical aspect and may provide slightly different results particularly for interrelated systems.What work remains before you complete this RD program?We need to study the parametric relationship. For example, what happens if the size of our device is reduced to 100mm, 50mm and MEMS scale? This is what we are investigating right now, both theoretically and experimentally. There are several researches that need to be done on this area especially in the design, manufacturing, modeling, testing and integration. I would like to mention that we are using the rapid prototyping (3D printing) tech nology to fabricate our prototype. This makes our progress faster.What other applications of energy harvesting interest you?I am also interested in energy harvesting from ocean waves, solar, energy harvesting from microorganisms such as bacteria and algae. These sources have numerous applications in various systems.What other research projects unrelated to energy harvesting from human motion are you currently engaging in, or if this is your focus what is your next project?Right now, I am working in various areas in menschenhnlich robotics, biomimetics, smart materials and structures. My next projects include works in humanoid robots for use in healthcare, rehabilitation and rescue mission. In addition, I am working on biomimetic and biorobotics, smart materials synthesis and modeling.When did you first realize you wanted to become an engineer, and not just an engineer but a researcher, one that looks for solutions to the tough questions?Initially, I had an interest to be a medical d octor. I think I decided to become an engineer during my first year in undergraduate program. I decided to become an engineering researcher the fearless engineer that attempts to make anything when I was involved in the humanoid research. Humanoid research attempts to recreate humans. When I attended a robotic show, I said to myself-Oh this is really great and I want to spend my entire life in this area of research.What best practices would you offer an early career engineer about being successful in their careers, mentoring and volunteering for their professionwhether its an ASME committee, or being a STEM advocate for what they believe in?To be successful, one has to develop critical thinking and self-learning. People will like your ideas if you come up with new stuff all the time. One essential component is participation in various professional activities, which will develop the two aspects.Overall what has been your experience with ASME?Every time I go to an ASME conference, I c ome back with new energy, new ideas, and a new plan for an upgrade of my career. It is a large gathering of professionals that link highly experienced professionals to young ones. I started my involvement with IMECE by participating in conference presentations. I then became a reviewer, session chair, and topic organizer. I will continue attending and participating in the various activities.Professor Yonas Tadesse has published papers on The ASME Digital Collection, including the following from the 2013 ASME Congress Proceedings (IMECE2013) Rotary Multimodal Energy Harvesting Device.

Maybe its not always yes or no The power of uncertainty

Maybe its not always yes or no The power of uncertaintyMaybe its not always yes or no The power of uncertaintyWe often hear we should learn to say no instead of waffling. Then again, there are books and guides and apps for people intent on embracing the notion of saying yes to everything that comes their way.Whether youre too agreeable, or overly disagreeable, it might be time to embrace somedistributionspolitik in the middle and give yurself the gift of maybe.Allison Carmen quite literally wrote a book on the topic, The Gift of Maybe in which she finds hope in neither yes nor no.Carmen spoke with Ladders about some of the reasons she believes that uncertainty will actually add some peace to your life.Make sure youre ready to respondTheres nothing wrong with yes and theres nothing wrong with no- but were you ready to say that? asked Carmen. She believes People are afraid of uncertainty and they think not knowing is bad. Carmen explained that sometimes we really dont know what might h appen, but we tend to project that things cant get better. Just because you dont know which way something will go, doesnt mean it wont be in your favor. Sometimes its okay to wait and see what happens before committing one way or another.Uncertainty can be goodCarmen reminds us Most people forget that theres a period of time where not knowing allows you to sit with something and be curious. If you adopt a wait and see attitude, things might swing in your favor. And then something happens and then youre sure of what you should be doing, Carmen says. Uncertainty is good. If life is uncertain that means life can change. If you dont like whats happening today, you might have better luck tomorrow, she adds. Also, if you have the answer youll be able to better figure out where youre going. Its not about direction, its about making the best choices for our lives, Carmen said.Have you given it enough thought?Some people jump on the immediate yes or definitive no without actually puzzling th rough a situation. Carmen believes those decisions can be born out of fear, in many cases, fear of the unknown. Fear makes us say yes or no too quickly. Sometimes its the right answer, she says. Then again, The idea of maybe allows you to cut the fear. Life is full of these uncertain possibilities. So instead of jumping to a response either way, ask yourself Have I thought about it enough? Carmen believes that allows you to sit in that open space until youre ready to make that decision.Dont write your storyCarmen offers the example that most people write their life stories and have certain expectations. Maybe they think theyll have X number of dollars in the bank by the time they hit 50, or a perfect spouse or home. The truth is though, life rarely turns out the way we think. We never knew how this was going to work out. We just made up these stories Carmen said. And in some instances, maybe can be a calming factor- it was for her. Maybe leaves me open. It quiets the fear and allows me to end up in the unknown until I can figure it out, she said. Besides, if you dont limit yourself to either yes or no, theres endless possibility around the corner.If youre worried about seeming wishy-washy, here are some tips for embracing more maybeDont use maybe as a crutch If youre coming from a place of fear where youre avoiding what you want to do, then its a crutch. If youre making a decision clouded by fear- its all the same Carmen adds. If were afraid that something wont work out, its the fear not the maybe.Be clear Dont leave people hanging. Carmen says I think you have to be clear. If youre not sure if you want a job offered to you, explain why you might need time to respond. Carmen says you can offer something like This sounds great but I have to consider certain things in my life. Dont leave it open-ended, give them a timeline when theyll have your response one way or another.Dont avoid a yes or no If youre using maybe to avoid a situation, its a cop-out. If instead , youre opening up to allow yourself to see what life might have in store for you, youre on the right track. Carmen said Maybe seems like a simple word, but it reminds you that the uncertainty means that life can change. Maybe it can work out.

One of the biggest challenges in almost all industries today is achieving gender parity. Gender diversity provides huge benefits in the workplace. pWhile some industries have made significant advancements in gender diversity, some industries lag further behind... and the construction industry is well-known for being in the latter category. If someone says, construction workers, youll likely picture a group of men in yellow hard hats analyzing an architects plans or laying bricks on top of a scaffold. And men at work signs only help to reinforce this image.pThis stereotype is rooted in reality. When was the brde time you actually spotted a woman on a construction site? Or hired a female plumber or carpenter? Your answer is most likely never. In fact, the Bureau of Labor Statisticsreports that only 3.4% of the total of 8.3 million construction employees are women.pBut the const ruction industry has a lot more to offer than steel-toed boots and hard hats, and it needs women to help advance the industry in this era of rapid change. Here are 5 reasons why women joining the workforce or looking to make a pivot should consider a career in construction.h21. Fuel Innovation/h2pNot only is diversity the socially and morally right thing to do, but it is also actually an excellent business strategy. pResearch presented in the Harvard Business Reviewshows that diverse teams develop more innovative ideas. This is further supported by a study conducted by Gallupon the performance of gender-diverse teams versus single-gender teams, which found that the difference in backgrounds and perspectives leuchtdiode to better business performance and problem-solving. h22. Capitalize on Demand/h2pThe construction industry is currently experiencing a labor shortage. The industry itself is booming and projected to be one of the fastest-growing industries, with total spending project ed to exceed $1.45 trillion in 2023/a. However, most construction companies are unable to meet the rising demand. pAccording to the Associated General Contractors of America/a, more than 80% of contractors are experiencing difficulties filling hourly craft positions that represent the bulk of the construction workforce.pAnd demand isnt limited to individual contributor roles. Given the industry boom, there are a number of open stable and high-paying roles (any project managers out there?) waiting for the right candidateh23. Leadership Opportunities/h2pAccording to the Bureau of Labor Statistics/a, women compose only 7.7% of the total 1 million managerial positions in construction.br/pBut given the highly collaborative nature of construction work, more women in leadership roles would help drive innovation and enhance productivity.Furthermore, as a woman in construction in a leadership position, youd have the unique opportunity to drive change for the industry and make it a more attra ctive option for other women.h24. High-Income Potential/h2pSalaries for many skilled positions in construction are on the rise, making a construction career a prime choice for women looking for a high-paying job,pThe 2018 Construction Craft Salary Surveyconducted by the National Center for Construction Education and Research revealed that salaries for many skilled craft areas are increasing. Project managers and project supervisors topped the list at $92,523 and $88,355, respectively. The next set of highest-paying jobs include those of combo welders ($71,067), instrumentation technicians ($70,080), pipe welders ($69,222), power line workers ($68,262) and industrial electricians ($67,269). Of the 32 categories of workers in the survey, 19 positions earned an average salary of $60,000 or higher.h25. Sense of accomplishment/h2p The construction industry can give employees a unique sense of achievement. Yes, the job is stressful and the work can be demanding, but nothing beats the feel ing of being able to build something from the ground up. pHow many professionals in other industries can point at a school, a hospital, or a skyscraper and say I helped build that?pThe construction industry has a long way to go in combating gender bias and supporting women in the workforce, but given the current demand for workers, theres no better time to pick up a sledgehammer (figurative or literal) and smash the gender stereotypes plaguing the construction industry.
