Relax into Productivity

In Grown Up Digital, Effie Seiberg was interviewed on the culture at Google:

“Unlike in the corporate world, no one thinks twice if you IM with your friends in the middle of the day or go out to play volleyball at two. The culture is designed to help employees relax into productivity, not stress into it. . . . To me this seems, well, logical.”

What a simple, brilliant idea. We’re so busy stressing about goals, metrics, deadlines, and doing things the corporate way, that we forget: people are most productive when they can relax at work.
