How I Learned It:

Before all the coporate soldiers start marching towards me, let me explain.

In the 8 years of my corporate life, I always made it a point to finish all I had to do in the week by Thursday. When I say don’t work on Fridays, I don’t mean that people should just take off on Fridays. Rather I have converted my Fridays to be a development day for me. I reserve Fridays to have networking lunches with colleagues, peers and seniors. I also take some time out to work on my small side projects which will eventually help me develop my skills and propel me towards growth.
