Did Trader Joe's Just Start Selling Pupusas?

Work Smarter Not Harder

Steve Jobs maybe wasn’t always right. Here’s what researchers are finding: Denmark always lists high in those “happiest citizens” rankings - and this may be partly because the country’s people focus more on realistic life expectations rather than crazy impossible goals.

Think our grandparents were maybe like this too? (Blue Zone researchers actually have found that some regions in Mexico rank highly in happiness indeces.)

What that means for you: if your business goals are over the moon unrealistic, it’ll be hard to feel happy. The trick is to balance your amazing dreams with more realistic milestones. There is nothing more Señora era than this. Balance.

Plus: 85% may be the magic number to experience the best work of your life. All that additional work is probably just busy work.

Workers are also really unhappy; this is possibly because many companies are now trying to bring their employees back to the physical office. For example, when dating app Grindr told their 178 employees to go back to the office, 45% quit. Another study found 66% of remote workers would rather quit their jobs rather than go back to the daily commute.

We always thought Jimmy Fallon seemed like he would be the coolest boss. Guess not? 

Señora Era isn’t about quitting your job: it’s about balancing hard work with hard rest and self-care resets. When our anti-hustle culture videos go viral we’re always asked this and we always want to clarify.
