Editor’s note: Quote/Unquote is a new occasional feature on the UL blog. It will round up interesting ideas and comments from wide-ranging sources on everything about work, business and where they intersect with the rest of our lives. The idea riffs on the very excellent Quote This blog.
“After lunch, I get a little lazy between 1 p.m. and 3 p.m. I don’t feel that productive, so I’m usually screwing around, which I think is really important. Everyone should read stuff on the Web that’s goofy or discover something new. I hate it when businesses treat their employees like children. They block Facebook or YouTube because they want their employees to work eight hours a day. But instead of getting more productivity, you’re getting frustration. What’s the point? As long as the work gets done, I don’t care what people do all day.” — Jason Fried, co-founder of 37signals [from "The Way I Work," via Inc.]
