The Morning News weighs in (thank you blogdex) with this gem:

The Key to a Successful Freelance Career: A Diary
The key to a successful freelance career is routine. Give yourself a strict schedule, just like any job. People may complain about the inconvenience of the workforce -- getting out of bed at an early hour, dealing with the boss and the co-workers -- but that keeps us honest and productive. Without such checks and balances, some of us fall to pieces.

Meanwhile, Slashdot links to a Business Week article about the rising popularity of meditation in the workplace. The ensuing Slashdot discussion also makes a few interesting points.

Business Week pops up on the radar again, thanks to a BostonWorks: The Job Blog link to an item on the drawbacks and dangers of working the night shift. I agree that it's much harder to conduct a life outside of work when you're assigned to the graveyard shift. Although I wonder how many habitual night owls would avoid going to the gym even if they worked a day shift -- I know I would want to avoid the vapid spandex hordes at any time of the day.
