I'd guess they mostly apply to anything where you're a bit independent. If you're in a job where the boss says, "Here's the result we want. Make it so." then most of these will apply to you. And even for straight-up employees, some of those can be helpful. The part about regulating your energy levels is true even for McDonald's employees who (trust me, I've been there) have every tiny movement regulated by corporate policy.

If only McDonald's had let me buy a chair!
