Getting Ahead

How to mesmerize yourself into doing deep work Writer Ingrid Rojas Contreras uses self-mesmerism to induce a trance-like state in order to get deep work done.

Nine out of 10 companies say they will likely stick to some form of the remote work that were brought on by the pandemic, according to a survey by McKinsey.
