We live in hectic times, and sometimes it feels like we are always running somewhere, unable to slow down and do anything for ourselves. According to statistics, over 34 per cent of Canadians feel trapped in their daily routine, and many of them describe themselves as workaholics.

My colleagues and I are busy, and other people working in the offices down the street are busy as well, and even grandmas and grandpas are less relaxed then they used to be. We used to have clearer boarders between our working time and free time. We worked while in the office and relaxed and read a book on the train home. So I have been thinking… what would you say to reverting your working times back to what it used to be?
