Clocks and Life Forward
I had a wasted day yesterday. Or perhaps a better way of looking at it was I relaxed and recharged. One article I read (while wasting time reading) was on how much time we waste reading and how so much of it is pointless.
I do know reading politics these days is stressful (even though I do not do politics) and mostly pointless.

I have never been more excited by what we are doing at Danby Appliances. We have a lot of innovation happening. One new product is the Danby Fresh herb grower - an appliance that allows people to grow wheat grass, cilantro, parsley, lettuce, basil etc indoors all year. And a great plant starter.
Being excited by work is one of the best ways to have energy.

Here is an interesting NPR article on job automation. The job issue is a complex one. I believe in the value of work and the respect that comes from being able to earn a living. I also believe in free markets.
I like the gig economy (things like Uber, AirBnb) that allows people to earn extra money. I worry though when those are the only jobs people have and can they get by on those.
And in the end, I believe in entrepreneurship and think people should be allowed to start and run businesses.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++
In the spirit of moving the clocks forward, I thought I would share this article on sleep. One of the regrets I have from my first book on Time Leadership is I suggested sleeping less was a good idea for productivity. I now disagree with that.
I like new years. I reflect and change. Clock change time is also a good time for that. I reflect on what habits (good and bad) I have and changes needed. I work out quite a bit but am thinking I could always up my game. Sitting here blogging might be my way of avoiding getting to the gym (although I am dressed to go and all packed which is one of my tricks to make it happen)
++++++++++++++++++++++++++
And a book suggestion - American Kingpin, The Epic Hunt for the Criminal Mastermind Behind the Silk Road – Nick Bilton
I found it to be a page turner.
Hopefully not to give you business ideas - but just for interest.
