My colleagues and I published a couple of different views on the future of “work from home” and remote work last Friday — a story that, if analytics is any sign, really struck a nerve with many of you. That shouldn’t be surprising particularly in the tech industry, where knowledge work fundamentall…
This temptation to multitask has only gotten worse in the work-from-home era. But there are ways to fight it.

How can we do more to help those who may be suffering at the moment – whether from mental health issues, or generally feeling a little bit isolated or down (understandable given the year everyone has had)? This is something we at MR PORTER are asking ourselves this week on the anniversary of our Health In Mind campaign. When our mates are going through a hard time, it can be just as tough to figure out how best to reach out, and what exactly to say. Beyond checking in, is there anything else we can be doing? We teamed up with our friends at Movember to come up with 33 ways to be a better friend. Have a read, below, get stuck in, and, if you like, let us know the results over on our social media hashtag #TIMEwithHIM. Stop scrolling. Call a friend. Check in.

If you really think about it, the whole idea of a necktie is rather ridiculous. (Check out today’s “From the Archives” like for more about its history.) It is, literally, a noose that you put around your neck. That is, it’s a device not dissimilar to ones used to kill people. And we don’t wear them for practical purposes; they’re fashion over function. But are they dangerous? Maybe. In 2018, Robin Lüddecke and Thomas Lindner, both professors at the University Hospital Schleswig-Holstein in Germany, co-led a study to determine just that. Specifically, as their paper notes, “negative cerebrovascular effects can be expected by compressing jugular veins and carotids by a necktie.” Or in other words, they wondered if wearing a tie constricted the amount of blood flowing into the wearer’s brain. Seems like a reasonable thing to guess, but being scientists, an experiment was in order.
