Synopsis
The Pajama Effect is a phenomenon brought about by the breaking down of walls. This absence of tradition and structure creates flexibility and new responsibilities affecting every facet of personal and professional life. Smartphones and digital communications have changed the 9-to-5 workday to a 24/7/365 never-ending cycle. You find yourself answering work emails while watching your child's baseball game or texting your friend during an Internet-based business conference. There are more demands placed on your time than ever before and instant responses are expected. The Pajama Effect helps you understand what it takes to function successfully as you work in this detached yet highly connected and demanding world.
