Re your Shortcuts item (Performative workaholism? Give it a rest, G2, 29 January), Henry David Thoreau put it most elegantly and succinctly in Walden: “The really efficient labourer will be found not to crowd his day with work, but will saunter to his task surrounded by a wide halo of ease and leisure.” I used to have this on a small card at eye level on the pinboard behind the computer. It works.

• Reading EU negotiator Sabine Weyand’s reference to Groundhog Day (Report, 29 January), it occurred to me that our government could take a tip from the groundhog itself: if the conditions aren’t right, it stays in!
