I don’t know how old you are, but you’re probably old enough to have noticed by now that time moves pretty quickly. Days can feel long, but years tend to feel short. At least, that’s my experience.

One person said that he’s been working quite a bit on his productivity. In particular, he set up a task management system (in OmniFocus) that helps him make better decisions about how to spend his time. But, despite his best efforts, he still “does not have enough time in the day”. Several other...
When major news happens, what does that do to you? Do you shrug it off and go about your day? Or does it consume your attention for an entire week? I’m not leading you towards a desired answer. Some news, you should shrug off. Other news, you probably should reflect on for a while, assuming you care about being an informed citizen and voter.
