The 4 Lessons You Learn From Leaving Work at 5 PM - The Muse

The 4 Lessons You Learn From Leaving Work at 5 PM - The MuseThe 4 Lessons You Learn From Leaving Work at 5 PM In previous jobs Ive held, I was conditioned to think that leaving right at 5 PM was a thing of the past. It just wasnt something people did anymora, so I stayed later, even on days when Id finished my work and was only running out the clock. But then I started working at my current day job and noticed plenty of people leave at (or around) that time on a regular basis. As foreign as it felt to me, I wanted to try it- just for a week, just to landsee if I could actually do it without getting behind.So I did, and heres what I learned1. I Needed to Be Intentional About Leaving Work at 5 PMAfter working late for the majority of my entire career, it quickly became apparent that unless I made it a point to leave at 5 PM on the dot, nobody would do it for me. Nobody would come to my desk and say, Rich, close your laptop. Its time to go home nowSo, that meant Id have to force myself to make it happen. For starters, I added a recurring block of time to my calendar every day at 5 PM, which I called Go home because you can. Not only did I have that alert on my calendar, I had a handful of other notifications set up that went off right at 5 PM and more or less made me feel like staying any later would mean I was breaking the rules. Since its nobody elses job to tell you to get out, you have to take matters into your own hands whether thats a Google calendar alert, a sticky note on your monitor, or even asking a friend to text you at 445 PM that its time to start wrapping up. Be creative and find something that works for you. 2. I Had to Get More Done During the DayWhen I finally got used to the idea that Id leave my desk at 5 PM, I looked at my calendar and thought, Wow, that is not a lot of time to get everything done. I quickly realized that I needed to maximize the time that I would be in the office. That meant taking fewer coffee breaks, cutting a couple of cas ual conversations short, and focusing harder on getting my work done. This extra push was a bigger adjustment than I thought it would be, but when leaving time did roll around, I left work feeling pretty good about how productive Id been in less time than usual. If you currently have trouble focusing during the day for long periods of time, consider trying out a few different strategies, such as Pomodoro Technique or finding your golden hours. 3. I Enjoyed My Additional Free Time More Than I Thought I WouldIts easy to think that youre doing just fine, even if youre staying at work late on a regular basis. You might not be tired, you might even love your work, but when you give yourself the flexibility to leave your desk on time when youre able to, youll realize how nice it is to have an another hour or two each evening for yourself. The additional time allowed me to spend more time catching up with my wife after work (instead of immediately plopping myself down on the couch and bing e-watching an awful reality show). And because I had more of this quality time with my wife, I felt way less guilty about training for an upcoming half marathon on the weekends. And on a couple occasions, I was even able to catch up on one of my favorite, if not nerdy, pastimes browsing the stacks at my local comic book store. 4. I Realized the World Wont Come Crashing Down if I Leave Something for TomorrowHeres a lesson thats hard to learn until you start leaving your desk at the same time every night. While I didnt purposely miss deadlines because I needed to leave at 5 PM, I did take a harder look at my to-do list. And I realized I have an awful habit of obsessing over getting to inbox zero. The problem with doing this, especially near the end of the day, is that youll never get there. There will always be more messages coming in- but few, if any, that require my immediate response. In fact, a lot of the emails I read late at night literally said, This can wait until the morning. The truth is that few things are as urgent as we make them. Im not saying to put off everything until tomorrow, but know when youre just getting ahead for the sheer sake of getting ahead.Leaving work at 5 PM is admittedly very strange to me. So strange, in fact, that after leaving at that time every day for a week, I fell back into some old habits. Sure, sometimes it was necessary to stay a little later to meet a deadline, but other times Id get caught up in tasks or conversations that really could have waited until the following morning. And even though Im not perfect at leaving on the earlier side, walking out the door at the same time every day for an entire week has made me think more closely about how long I spend sitting at my desk. And the fact Im more aware of that in general is as good of a start as I could really could ask for.

Bioengineered Vocal Cord Tissue Produces Sound

Bioengineered Vocal Cord Tissue Produces Sound Bioengineered Vocal Cord Tissue Produces Sound Bioengineered Vocal Cord Tissue Produces SoundMost of us take for granted our ability to speakthis is not the case for about 20 million Americans who suffer from voice impairments. These often result from damage to the vocal-cord mucosae, the specialized folded tissues that vibrate as air moves over them, creating sound. Although some medical treatments are available surgery, voice therapy, or injections of collagen or other materials, the results are generally unsatisfactory.Now, however, researchers at the University of Wisconsin in Madison have succeeded in growing functional vocal-cord tissue in the laboratory, a major step toward developing better treatments for people with voice disorders.Most people inherently identify themselves and others by the sound of their voices, can recognize a familiar voice, and can pick up on others emotion and intent based on the tone of their voice, says Dr. Nathan Welham, associate professor in the Division of Otolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery at the UW School of Medicine, who lumineszenzdiode the research team. Voice is part of who we are. Given this, the idea that a voice can be potentially regenerated or replaced in someone with voice difficulty is a fascinating and hopeful thing.Dr. Nathan Welham (right) and his colleagues were able to bioengineer vocal-cord tissue. Image University of Wisconsin School of Medicine and Public HealthComplex Tissue StructureVocal cords are made up of special tissue that is flexible enough to vibrate, yet strong enough to bang together hundreds of times per second. Its an exquisite system and a hard thing to replicate, says Welham.These are the only tissues in the body that are subject to high-frequency oscillation (at rates exceeding 1,000 Hz for a soprano when singing, or 200-300 Hz for the rest of us most of the time) and repeated tissue collision with associated impact and shear stresses. De spite this, the tissues are actually quite delicate and have a low viscous modulus, so low, in fact, that traveling waves propagate across the tissue surface during voice production, says Welham. We had to consider all of these things when engineering a new tissue.The research team isolated, purified, and grew cells from mucosa tissue harvested from a cadaver and the larynxes removed from four patients. The cells were then transferred to a 3-D collagen scaffold, similar to the approach used to generate artificial skin in the laboratory. In about two weeks the cells had gestalted a strong, pliable, connective tissue with the same basic structure as vocal-cord tissue, including viscosity and elasticity. Physical testing showed that the epithelial cells had also begun to form an immature basement membrane, which helps create a barrier against pathogens and irritants in the airway.The cells are effectively talking to each other and producing the structural proteins that make this specia l tissue capable of vibration, says Brian Frey, a UW-Madison associate scientist in chemistry involved in the research.The bioengineered tissue welches then transplanted onto one side of larynges that had been removed from cadaver dogs and attached to artificial wind pipes. When humidified air was blown through the larynges, a humming sound resulted. High-speed digital imaging showed the engineered mucosa vibrating like the native tissue on the other side of the larynges.Finally, the researchers tested the biocompatibility of the tissue in mice that had been engineered to have human immune systems. The tissue grew and was not rejected. It seems the engineered vocal-cord tissue is immune-privileged, meaning that it doesnt set off a host immune reaction, Welham says.Lab-grown and native vocal tissue. Image University of Wisconsin School of Medicine and Public HealthHuman TestingWe hoped for a good outcome, but were shocked at how well the engineered tissue created with human vocal fol d primary cells performed, says Welham. These cells, originally exposed to the biomechanical environment of vocal folds when inside the body, seemed ideally suited to recapitulate the structure and function when used to engineer a replacement tissue.One disappointment was that the bioengineered vocal-cord tissues fiber structure was less complex than adult vocal cords. However, it also takes human vocal cords about 13 years to fully develop.Much more research is required before bioengineered vocal-cord tissue will be ready for human testing. Welhams proof-of-principle study is a robust benchmark in the possible use of vocal-cord tissue as a practical therapy option for patients with severe vocal fold diseases who would benefit from a complete mucosal replacement. Getting to this point, however, will require substantially more safety and efficacy testing, as well as FDA approval, concludes Welham.Mark Crawford is an independent writer.Learn about the latest trends in bioengineering a t ASMEs Global Congress on NanoEngineering for Medicine and Biology.

Why your boss lacks emotional intelligence

Why your anfhrer lacks emotional intelligenceWhy your boss lacks emotional intelligenceOver the past century, the heartless, no-nonsense CEO has become something of an icon - and a clich - in American society. Hollywood would have us believe that the Machiavellian chief exec is totenstill alive and well.But thats just TV, right? How about in the real world? Do businesses still allow these inhumane relics to survive?To find out,TalentSmartanalyzed the emotional intelligence (EQ) profiles of the million-plus people in our database - workers from the frontlines to the C-suite. We discovered that the answer is yes, organizations today do promote the emotionally inept . . . except when they dont. Allow me to explain.We found that EQ scores climb with titles from the bottom of the corporate ladder upward toward middle management. Middle managers stand out with the highest EQ scores in the workplace because companies tend to promote people into these positions who are level-headed and go od with people. The assumption zu siche is that a manager with a high EQ is someone for whom people will want to work.But things change drastically as you move beyond middle management.For the titles of director and above, scores descend faster than a snowboarder on a black diamond. CEOs, on average, have the lowest EQ scores in the workplace.The trick is,for every title in the graph above, the top performers are those with the highest EQ scores.Even though CEOs have the lowest EQ scores in the workplace, the best-performing CEOs are those with the highest EQs. You might get promoted with a low EQ, but you wont outshine your high-EQ competition in your new role.The higher you go above middle management, the mora companies focus on metrics to make hiring and promotion decisions. While these short-term, bottom-line indicators are important, its shortsighted to make someone a senior leader because of recent monetary achievements. Possibly worse than metrics, companies also promote lead ers for their knowledge and tenure, rather than their skill in inspiring others to excel.Companies sell themselves short by selecting leaders who arent well-rounded enough to perform at the highest levels for the long term.Once leaders get promoted they enter an environment that tends to erode their emotional intelligence. They spend less time in meaningful interactions with their staff and lose sight of how their emotional states impact those around them. Its so easy to get out of touch that leaders EQ levels sink further. It truly is lonely at the top.Whether youre a leader now or may become one in the future, you dont have to succumb to this trend. Your emotional intelligence is completely under your control. Work on your EQ and it will boost your performance now. Your effort can also ensure that you dont experience declines as you climb the corporate ladder. Even if your employer promotes you for the wrong reasons, youll still outperform your contemporaries.To help you get start ed, here are some of my favorite EQ-boosting strategies for leaders. They apply to anyone, so give them a try, even if youre notlage a leader (yet).Acknowledge other peoples feelingsAssertive, action-oriented executives dont exactly ignore other peoples feelings. What they tend to do instead is to marginalize them or fix them so that they dont get in the way of action. While some have suggested that this is a predominantly male problem, it can more accurately be described as a power problem. People who fail to acknowledge other peoples feelings fail to realize that lingering emotions inhibit effective action.So the next time you notice someone on your gruppe expressing a strong emotion, ask him or her about it. Then listen intently and play back what you have just heard in summary form. By validating their emotions, youll help them feel understood so that they can move forward without hindrance.Watch your emotions like a hawkThe techniques above are extremely effective, but both req uire an awareness of your own emotions in the moment. You may think you have a world-class poker face, but if youre like the average executive, your weakest self-awareness skills are understanding how your emotions impact others and recognizing the role you have played in creating difficult circumstances.In other words, you would become a much more effective leader if you obtained a better understanding of what you feel, when you feel it. Practice this by taking notice of your emotions, thoughts, and behaviors just as a situation unfolds. The goal is to slow yourself down and take in all that is in front of you, so that you can understand how your emotions influence your behavior and alter your perception of reality.Dont hold grudgesThe negative emotions that come with unternehmensverbund onto a grudge are actually a stress response. Just thinking about the event sends your body into fight-or-flight mode, a survival mechanism that forces you to stand up and fight or run for the hill s when faced with a threat.When the threat is imminent, this reaction is essential to your survival, but when the threat is ancient history, holding onto that stress wreaks havoc on your body and can have devastating health consequences over time. In fact, researchers at Emory University have shown that holding onto stress contributes to high blood pressure and heart disease.Holding onto a grudge means youre holding onto stress, and emotionally intelligent people know to avoid this at all costs. Letting go of a grudge not only makes you feel better now but can also improve your health.SleepIve beaten this one to death over the years and cant say enough about the importance of sleep to increasing your emotional intelligence and improving your relationships. Your self-control, attention, and memory are all reduced when you dont get enough - or the right kind - of sleep. Sleep deprivation also raises stress hormone levels on its own, even without a stressor present.The pressure that leaders are under often makes them feel as if they dont have time to sleep, but not taking the time to get a decent nights sleep is often the one thing keeping you from getting things under control.Quash negative self-talkA big step in developing emotional intelligence involves stopping negative self-talk in its tracks. The more you ruminate on negative thoughts, the more power you give them. Most of our negative thoughts are just that- thoughts, not facts.When you find yourself believing the negative and pessimistic things your inner voice says, its time to stop and write them down. Literally stop what youre doing and write down what youre thinking. Once youve taken a moment to slow down the negative momentum of your thoughts, you will be more rational and clear-headed in evaluating their veracity.You can bet that your statements arent true any time you use words like never, worst, ever, etc. If your statements still look like facts once theyre on paper, take them to a friend or co lleague you trust and see if he or she agrees with you. Then the truth will surely come out.When it feels like something always or never happens, this is just your brains natural threat tendency inflating the perceived frequency or severity of an event. Identifying and labeling your thoughts as thoughts by separating them from the facts will help you escape the cycle of negativity and move toward a positive new outlook.When you care, show itThis might be the easiest thing you can do- as long as you actually do it. Good leaders always notice when people on their teams are doing good work, but they dont often show it. When you appreciate something that another person does, let him or her know about it.Even a quick email or pat on the back goes a long way in this regard. There are people who do great work around you every day. Dont put off letting them know how you feel about it. Your praise will build fierce loyalty and inspire your people to work even harder.Bringing it all togetherI s your employer perpetuating this trend, or are they bucking it by developing high-EQ leadership? Do you know high-EQ leaders who outshine the rest?

Create a Learn-At-Lunch Program for Your Employees

Create a Learn-At-Lunch Program for Your EmployeesCreate a Learn-At-Lunch Program for Your EmployeesMany firms successfully employ a learn-at-lunch approach to supplementemployee training and development activities. Some call them brown bag sessions in honor of the bags in which we used to carry our lunches, and others reverse the phrase, calling them Lunch-and-Learn events. Regardless of the name, the use of an occasional lunch hour for education or training can stimulate employee engagement and extend the companys development program. This article offers ideas on how to start, sustain, and succeed in strengthening employee learning with a Learn-at-Lunch program. Time Is Always Key When youre running a geschftliches miteinander, there never seems to be enough timeto get everything done. The typical training dilemmasuggests you cantspare people to go to training because theresso much work to be done, but you also cant neglect their training and development if you want your busine ss to thrive. While individuals value their lunch periods as an opportunity to reset for the afternoon, an education program that occasionally taps into this period can be interesting and invigorating for everyone involved. What Learn-At-Lunch Is At its simplest, a Learn-at-Lunch program is a training or development event occasionally scheduled during the lunch hour or lunch period.Many firms offer incentives such asfree lunches to encourage attendance and involvement. After all, theyre asking employees to give up personal time. Learn-at-Lunch training is usually less formal and less structured than traditional training events. The topics must be interesting to make the time investment worthwhile for employees, and conducive to short, hour-long sprints delivered over a period of days or weeks. Typical Learn-at-Lunch training programs include Cross-Training A cross-training program can range from teaching customer service reps how to answer the phone correctly to providing leade rship training to first-line managers. Product Training A programcan help all employees better understand product differences and specifications if your company offers many products or services. It is also a good way to introduce new products or services to your employees. Employee-Led Professional Development Give people an opportunity to learn about the responsibilities ofemployeesin other departments.Do you have someone in IT who could teach a course in programming basics or someone in accounting who could explain howfinancial forecasting works? Maybe someone in HR could teach a session on how to interview better. Personal Development A learn-at-lunch program does not have to be strictly business. Some firms use unterstellung opportunities to offer non-work-related learning opportunities in topics ranging fromwood carving to painting or drawing. Diversity Activities Many firms sponsor diversity teams and councils, and the lunch period is a great time to invite guest speakers or s howcase cross-cultural education. Life Skills Other options for leveraging Learn-at-Lunch programs include focusing on important life skills such as retirement planning, budgeting, or physical fitness. What Learn-At-Lunch Is Not Learn-at-Lunch sessions should only be voluntary. This is not the time toperformtraining thats required either by law or by the company. Dont use Learn-at-Lunch programs for anything that requires you tokeep track of who attends. Itsnot a good time to train employees on serious subjects like ethics or harassment. 15 Ideas to Help Start a Learn-At-Lunch Program Learn-at-Lunch programs have many variations. Here are some suggestions to help you get started. Gain support from your boss, executive, and appropriate menschenfreundlich resources personnel, or training and development professionals.Choose interesting, relevant topics.Tailor topics for different audiences in the workplace.Establish learning objectives for each topic andlunchtime training sess ion.Consider offering light, healthy lunch foods, snacks, and beverages as part of the program.Communicate the schedule in advance.Provide light, advance reading or materials whenever appropriate.Invite employees to submit ideas for work or life-related topics. Encourage employees to consider leading these programs by offering their own skills.Measure participant satisfaction with each session and refine the program as needed based on the feedback you receive.Select a location that supports both training and eating.Consider the needs of remote employees who may wantto attend. Offer optional video or audio conferencing support, and if you include a free lunch for local employees, extend a voucher or offer limited reimbursement for those who work away from the office. Record and make the sessions available for those who areunable to attend.Be sensitive to the reality that many employees appreciate their lunch period as an opportunity to decompress. Strike a balance between your eagern ess to schedule these events and the needs of your employees for time away from their daily jobs.Make attendance optional and focus on content that helps individuals improve their professional skills or an ability to navigate lifes challenges.Be sure to promote the event. That means talking about it, posting up flyers around the office, scheduling it into calendars and sending emails. It wont work well if you dont market your event properly, even to your staff. Benefits of Learn-At-Lunch Programs A learn-at-lunch program provides employees with an interesting alternative to a typical lunch break. These events will grow in popularity ifthe topics are carefully selected. An assortment of programs offers an opportunity to improve employee engagement and involvement in the business in an informal manner. By alternating the types of get-togethers you have you will also appeal to a wider group of employees. For the most part, the trainers enjoy the chance to be in the spotlight. Peop le like to share their expertise and interests with others in the company. Also, employees get a chance to spend time with one another in a non-work environment, something they may not otherwise be able to do. Potential Risks and Pitfalls Mandating participation will reduce interest and enjoyment in these learning events.Your goal is to have some of your employees say to others, Oh, you should have been there Not offering a wide variety of subjects risks boring the participants and reducing involvement over time. Dont forget about the employees in the field. You may potentially alienate valuable professionals if you fail to offer a facility for remote employees. Finally, if you schedule too many of these events, yourisk annoying employees who value their lunch period as a time to get away from their desks and decompress, exercise, or run errands. The Bottom Line Successful organizations invest in supporting employee development. Althoughtraining can be expensive and the impa ct sometimes questionable, Learn-at-Lunch programs offer a non-threatening and fun method for extending learning and stimulating the energy and creativity in the workplace.

3D Printing Blooms in Biomedical

3D Printing Blooms in Biomedical 3D Printing Blooms in Biomedical When American engineer Charles Hull invented the first 3D printer over 30 years ago to create concept models, would he have imagined that someday researchers will use 3D printing for constructing organ scaffolds that are way mora complex?Continued innovation has pushed 3D printing into new realms and has proved how far the technology has come since its invention. From dental products to prosthetics and tissue engineering, 3D printing is also helping address some of todays biomedical challenges.Biomedical applications are ideally suited because they are built on this uniqueness of additive manufacturing, which is the ability to make optimized and customized parts that are very complex, says Hod Lipson, associate professor of mechanical and aerospace engineering and computing and information science at Cornell University and co-author of the book Fabricated The New World of 3D Printing.A recent study by Meticulous Resear ch indicates that the global medical 3D printing market is expected to reach $983.2 million by the year 2020, with major drivers being the widening application, government initiatives to promote research activities in 3D printing, and increased investments. So what will be the next stage of innovation?One of Organovos tissue engineers oversees the construction of a vascular tissue construct. Image OrganovoBioprinting in 3DBioprinting is an emerging technology for fabricating artificial tissue and organ constructs. Extensive research is being conducted in bioprinting and its potential as a future source for organ transplants. It is, however, much simpler to print in plastic than living cells.Unlike traditional 3D printing of plastics and metal where after you finish printing you have your part, with bioprinting its just the beginning. Even after you finish printing there is a long road ahead. You have to incubate the part, simulate its environment its much more complicated, says Pro f. Lipson.Although organ printing is still in early stage of development, San Diego-based biotech firm Organovo has been using bioprinting to create 3D printed tissues for preclinical drug discovery testing and will begin selling its 3D printed human liver models this year.The human liver tissue that we just released could be used for toxicology testing, metabolic testing, and drug-drug interactions, says Michael Renard, executive vice president of commercial operations at Organovo. Besides being a functional tissue in shape and size, one of the characteristic is that the tissue lasts for a number of days and weeks. It affords the ability for drug scientists to do longer duration tests, he adds.In addition to drug discovery testing, says Renard, We also have a group thats beginning to work with tissue designs that could be valuable in the clinic as a therapy to be delivered to patients for a specific unmet medical need. According to him, The goal is to continue to advance tissues of higher complexity and closer to the kind of tissues and organs that we see fully formed in people.Ibrahim T. Ozbolat, assistant professor at the University of Iowas Mechanical and Industrial Engineering Department also has been using a 3D printer to print living structures with bio-ink (watch video). The goal is to eventually print a working organ that can be transplanted into a human.A 3D printed ear, heart valve, and kidney are other organs researchers are currently working on but its hard to match the complexities of real-life human organs. The next stage of innovation in bioprinting, says Lipson, will be in multiple heterogeneous tissue to get closer to printing an actual organ. There are a couple of ideas that have been demonstrated related to vascularity that are promising. The question is how big of a tissue can you keep alive using these approaches and thats yet to be demonstrated, he adds.The Case of CartilageIn 2006, Prof. Lipson and his colleagues at Cornells Creative Ma chines Lab printed a meniscus, the C-shaped piece of human cartilage that cushions the knee and other joints and researchers around the globe are now using 3D printing technology to print living cartilage for patients with knee injuries.More recently, a biomedical engineer and trachea specialist from the University of Michigan were able to create a 3D printed splint that saved a babys life who was born with a rare breathing disorder and researchers at the Feinstein Institute for Medical Research also successfully engineered a 3D printed cartilage to repair tissue damage in the trachea.Although further research is required before 3D printed cartilage is actually used in patients with bone injuries, the technology holds immense promise for orthopedic surgery.Children in Sudan fitted with 3D printed prosthetic arms as part of Project Daniel. Image Not Impossible, LLCDo-it-Yourself ProstheticsProsthetics was one of the first biomedical areas to be revolutionized by 3D printing and conti nues to grow as the technology becomes more democratized, making replacing limbs easier and cheaper.Not long ago, ASME.org featured the RoboHand, a device fabricated on a 3D printer, developed by a South African carpenter Richard Van As and Ivan Owen from Bellevue, WA. Now with easily accessible open source designs, people are 3D printing custom prosthetics for children, adults, and even dogs like Derby, who was recently seen at the 2015 White House Science Fair.The impact of 3D printed prosthetics on the developing world is immeasurable, says Elliot Kotek, co-founder of the non-profit organization Not Impossible, LLC, which uses 3D printing for building low-cost prosthetics for populations with no access to an alternative.3D printed options are providing tools for those whove previously lacked access to workable, affordable, timely solutions, says Kotek, adding that The 3D printed mechanical hands and arms are not, of course, anywhere near the standards of bionics being offered in higher socio-economic environs, but in places where lives are on the line, daily, having rapid prototyping options is a game changer.Learn more about the latest technologies in 3D printing at ASMEs AM3D 2015 in India and Boston.Unlike traditional 3D printing of plastics and metal where after you finish printing you have your part, with bioprinting its just the beginning.Prof. Hod Lipson, Cornell University
