Research: Why People Will Pay a Premium to Complete a Task Sooner -
Harvard Business Review [[link removed]}&lead=419599&emailid=74248&nl=daily]

they can. Yet, a recent series of studies found that people are often
willing to pay more money if it means they will finish a goal sooner.
This is because the mental cost of an unfinished task can outweigh
financial gains. The researchers offer insight into how to use their
findings to boost motivation on your team.

to the conclusion. QED, proof complete. If there’s a mistake
anywhere, an expert who reads the proof carefully should be able to
spot it. Otherwise, the proof must be valid. Mathematicians have been
following this basic approach for well over 2,000 years.

As people across the Southeast continue to pick up the pieces from

they—or their landlords—don’t have flood insurance. Those facing
damages from winds or mudslides are more likely to be covered, since
that type of damage is included in many basic home insurance packages.
