Here’s how long you can work before your brain 1shuts down
I’m having a hard time starting this article. According to research out of the University of Melbourne, that might
be because I’m middle-aged and work too much. Economists determined that burning the midnight oil makes you,
well, dumber.” Our study highlights that too much work can have adverse effects on cognitive functioning,” they
conclude.
Tell us something we didn’t know. Who hasn’t, at the end of a seemingly endless workweek, found themselves
staring blankly at their computer screen or into space unable to remember what they had for lunch, let alone form
a coherent thought about the task at hand?
For some employees, of course – the average resident 2 physician or, these days, that “3 gig economy” worker who
makes ends meet by banging away at multiple projects – long hours are a fact of modern working life. And there’s
a cost. Medical researchers have shown that working too much can affect employees’ physical and mental health.
So how much is too much? For people age 40 and older, working up to roughly 25 hours per week boosts
memory, the ability to quickly process information and other aspects of cognitive function, according to the study,
which drew on a longitudinal survey that tracks the well-being of 6,000 Australians. Beyond 25 hours a week, the
middle-aged brain doesn’t work as well, the study indicates, noting that the findings apply to both men and women.

Technology brought us fake news — and it will
help us kill it
“Fake news” - websites disseminating news stories
that are false but are believed to be true – was a major
feature of the U.S. election season. Some observers
believe that it determined the outcome of the election,
although there is no way to definitively ascertain its
effect on voting.
Fake news is news that affects the digital universe
profoundly. Fake news grew because of the ease
of creating and disseminating websites and stories
that look and read as credible as real news sites
(at least to many people). It is disseminated on
social media platforms just because dissemination
of information without vetting has always been a
feature of those platforms. This was designed to
facilitate communication - no one removes a negative
comment about a restaurant on Facebook.
On the positive side, this means that everyone’s
opinion can be disseminated. The awareness of fake
news, though, reveals a downside – or perhaps a loophole
– of the freedom to post. And fake news may beget1
fake news. Facebook is not the only media company
to be an inadvertent host for fake news, but it is by far
the largest, with roughly 2 billion users each month.
Forbes indicates that the fallout2
from fake news
during the election cycle may cause advertisers to
pull back from Facebook, as it is less “brand safe” than
formerly. If unchecked, fake news could impact the
perceived credibility of online sites where fake news
runs. Since the election, Facebook has announced
plans to refine and increase automated detection of
fake news and to make reporting of suspected stories
easier for Facebook users. It has also indicated that the
current ad system will be changed, to interfere with
fake news sites receiving revenue from Facebook.

The Most Important Skill For 21st–Century Success
By Kevin H. Johnson
The world of work is changing so rapidly, as emerging technologies like artificial intelligence, machine
learning, and automation change job requirements. As technologies continue to evolve and business
conditions shift, employees must stay in learning mode so their skills don’t lose currency.
It’s one thing to keep up with skills as they’re changing in the here and now. It’s a whole different
challenge to prepare yourself for tools and technologies that may exist only in the minds of engineers,
if at all.
There’s so much uncertainty and ambiguity around the future of work, it doesn’t matter your industry
or job function. That’s why, when anyone asks what the next “hot” skill will be, I say it’s the same skill
that will serve people today, tomorrow, and far into the future — the ability to learn.
When people embrace lifelong learning, assimilating new skills isn’t a source of fear and stress — it’s
just another part of their career journey. Separating process from outcome will make you a better
learner too, as you get less fixated on immediate mastery of a skill and more appreciative of how
moving outside your comfort zone helps you grow as a person.
A learning mindset also makes it less likely you’ll be thrown off or immobilized when a project changes
scope or a job function undergoes transformation. While others scramble to figure out where to go
from here, lifelong learners maintain momentum and productivity.
