Abstract: Abstract In Modern Times, Charlie Chaplin depicted a worker totally submitted to the pace of production, as set by the factory boss. Does this story belong to the past? Apparently not. Today, workloads are getting heavier throughout the world. People report they are overwhelmed by work and lack the time to complete one or more tasks, projects or initiatives. The day is over before everything has been done, and we tell each other we need a little less work and far more employees. Our children are fed up seeing us work evenings and weekends.
