This is so true! I always find that my days are filled up doing trivial things like paperwork, and I genuinely feel exhausted at the end of everyday doing these 'small' tasks. And yet, I constantly get to the end of the week wondering where the week went, because at the end I hadn't really progressed very far with the "big-picture" project!
Interesting observation, although there's also a lot of studies published that have shown a strong correlation between depression and obesity, which in turn is strongly linked to heart disease. I wonder if the researchers have controlled for this confounding factor somehow? (haven't had time to read the actual research paper yet)
Great article! While the company's methods is arguably on the edge of playing dirty, I think the line hasn't been crossed; all of us are just trying to do our best in this world, and those with the best hustle win. I think this company's method is a good example of someone thinking outside the box to get new customers, and I respect that.
From the customers point of view, their methods is probably really useful too- if I was paying for something, I'd want to make sure that I'm getting the best product my money can buy. I don't necessarily care WHO it is I'm paying, as long as the end product I get is the best value. So honestly it would be a "spam" email I'd be glad to receive!
