I have been listening to the AI-generated music at Brain.fm for about a month now. The focus mode really does seem to help. (I also like the sleep mode, but I need better headphones to wear to bed.) Before I learned about Brain.fm, I was

Well I'm paraphrasing and omitting details for reasons of brevity and memory (this was almost 20 years ago, after all). I do recall the email was lengthy and made the point more than once that I needed extra support because I was a wo

I'm not sure "corporate policy" is the right way to characterize it. This wasn't a policy adopted by HR or anything like that. An internal employee group took this upon themselves, and in the years before I did my inte
