I have to admit after working in a few different countries, I think the Australians I have worked with are just better at managing stress, perceptions, priorities and work-life balance. Some may perceive this as laziness or laid back but really, I think the culture has actually led to an increased level of focus on things which matter and doing this when it matters.

People who sit at a desk or in front of a book until midnight are not necessarily more effective or better than someone who only works/studies until dinner time. If they can both achieve the same outcome (i.e. effectiveness), then the real question becomes about efficiency.

I felt that when I worked in Australia there was a much stronger push to get out the door ASAP and to do this, you constantly found new ways to reduce your workload or just find a more efficient way of doing things. Here in Singapore, I'm finding that the culture is people expect to work until midnight and there's almost an element of expectation that you will be sitting in the office until midnight. This approach doesn't necessarily mean people are more effective but it does question their efficiency and sustainability of such practices.

That's because you're not Asian, we can wake up from deep sleep when the bus arrive at our stop, from our life long kung fu training.

Haven't you seen the kung fu masters wake up instantaneously when attackers approach them even quietly?

I believe Australians prefer the term "laid back" as the euphemism.
