I Love Steno Fun Fact: When Productivity Peaks
The July 2015 issue of Money Magazine contains an article entitled, “How To Unplug From Work.” In this article, the author, Daniel Bortz, opines that due to technology, people are able to communicate with each other with ease 24 hours a day. He cites the following statistics: “Smartphone users spend five hours on work email each weekend.” “61% of people have worked during a vacation.”
With the modern-day workload, or work overload, depending on how you view your work responsibilities, it is important to take breaks. The Money Magazine article also states, “Productivity falls sharply after a 50-hour workweek.” Therefore, do yourself a favor on a professional level and a personal level, take time out to “recharge your batteries.”
Love, Speed & Accuracy,

Here’s the transcription from the video:
Ladies and gentlemen, this is our usual Friday afternoon staff meeting, and I know you are all tired and want to get home, but I feel I need to talk to you about some blunders here in the office this week.
I would like to first start with the fact that you are never clever if you are caught. That brings me to one truth: Do not do it. You will be safer that way. It is not a matter of pride, no. It is a matter of not lowering your guard.
You must defer to your conscience. You must not suffer the fate of one who will never be hired again due to poor choices. I am not a loafer. I will catch you. Never question that.
