There are days when I get more done in 4 focused hours than in 9 scattered ones. Makes me question how much we still equate time with productivity. Do you think long hours are still too glorified in finance?

If i worked for four hours straight id get the same amount accomplished as i do in 8-10. I don’t think it’ll ever change but i think thats probably true for a lot of people

Which CC is better for sign-up bonus - Citi Premier 80K points or Chase Aer Lingus/Iberia 100K Avios points?

I churn somewhat regularly and am under 5/24 by 1. I think Citi's points are more valuable but maybe I should knock out another Chase card before I'm at 5/24 again, even though Avios isn't as versatile?
