Work for 6 weeks, take off for 2. Based on a concept from Jason Fried at Basecamp, this new approach to a results-oriented work environment helped a company increase productivity, improve their culture, and — as the author believes — change the world a little bit. 6-Week Cycles looks to create a better work-life balance through effective planning, time management, and empathetic communication.
