What a great idea! If you have to be at work anyway during these often slow and unproductive times, why not get something done. When I was in the corporate world, I used this trick on more than one occasion.
In the US, the next two weeks are traditionally the slowest of the year. Plenty of vacations, half-day Fridays, casual Mondays, martini Tuesdays… you get the idea.
What if you and your team went against type? What if you spend the two weeks while your competition (and the forces for the status quo) are snoozing–and turn it into a completed project?
