360Learning Work-Life Balance & Wellbeing

What’s your quotable principle for keeping a sustainable work pace — and what signal shows it works?

“Sync is for bonding, async is for working.” By ruthlessly moving status updates and low-value discussions to written formats, we protect deep work time. We focus on impact, not presence. In our Convexity culture, we eliminate performative work, such as unnecessary meetings. A sustainable pace is achieved by prioritizing high-impact tasks based on rational data. 

The signal showing it works: People feel comfortable “disconnecting” to focus on deep work because they are evaluated solely on their scope’s concrete results, or OKRs, not their hours online.

Which wellbeing-related resource do people actually use — and what improvement have you seen on your team?

The principle of “Benevolence,” which fosters psychological safety. Our core resource is cultural. It means assuming positive intent and allowing mistakes — “fail fast, learn fast” — without fear of political backlash. 

The “coach framework,” or mentorship, is also part of our culture. More than an external tool, our internal structure where managers act as coaches is vital. They are trained to re-prioritize workload if and when it’s required.
