The Work Less Institute of Technology had its first meeting on Thursday, Sept. 23, 2004.
"The thing to do was just find a place, move in and start, and let it grow."-- Myles Horton, We Make the Road by Walking.
We actually found one place then decided to move on to another place and then moved in started and let it grow.
What is the Work Less Institute of Technology? It is the umbrella title for the Work Less Party's study circles (& seminars, workshops and teach-ins). The provisional mission of the WLIT is two-fold:
* to explore and develop policy proposals and positions for the Work Less Party that are based on the wisdom, experience, reflection and research of our members and friends
* to explore and develop personal and business solutions to the problems of overwork, wasteful consumption, captive leisure and unemployment
Why the "Work Less Institue of Technology"? Because working less IS a technology, based on modern scientific understanding of the physiological and psychological dimensions of human effort and productivity. Just because "it would be nice" doesn't mean "it isn't practical"!
