Brad Feld, founder of VC firm Foundry Group, started scheduling regular vacations after his wife, Amy Batchelor, almost dumped him for working during an entire weekend trip. They now have one-week vacations each quarter -- known as their "Qx vacation." The ground rules? He unplugs completely, giving her his smartphone. "She gives it back the following week," he says. Colleagues work around it, and Feld stays married.
5.定期安排假期
布拉德•菲爾德是風險投資公司Foundry集團的創始人,有一次周末旅行時,他全程只顧工作,他的妻子艾米•巴切勒差點兒和他鬧離婚。現在,他們每個季度都會安排為期一周的假期,他們稱之為“季度假期”。而作為“季度假期”基本規則,他必須把智能手機交給妻子,并與工作完全隔離。他說道:“她會在下一周把手機還給我。”現在,他的同事也紛紛效仿,而菲爾德則與妻子和好如初。
