Mastodawn

It’s another glorious sunny start to the day & I was up in the dark so watched the dawn arrive. 9c again this morning & will be a lovely sunny 23c. Everything is still very wet & as the garden is tidy it all actually looks quite good & nice & fresh. Still a few I want to do, but not urgent things. I would love to know when the quote for my flooding problems will be dealt with, I might make some phone calls next week.
I can’t wait for the end of daylight saving. It’s so dark when I wake up now, but I also notice I’m sleeping a little longer because of it, not better, just longer. I am heading to bed a little later as well though.
Gentle stretchy yoga 🧘🏼‍♀️ class will be happening this morning, then down to my sisters for my weekly visit. I’m going to top up with petrol too as it’s pretty expensive right now & may go even higher. So just hedging bets although I do have half a tank right now.
Have a great #Sunday everyone, stay safe out there 🌻. #Weather #DaylightSaving #Exercise #Garden #Family.

"If you find it hard to remember which way the clocks will change, then the phrase "spring forward, fall back" is a useful reminder."

No, it isn't, because "clocks go forward" is also really hard for me to work out which way the change happens.

Just tell me if tomorrow is an hour shorter or an hour longer than normal.

Or, better, ditch the whole sorry mess entirely, and if the farmers want to get up earlier in the summer to catch the extra light, they can.

Good golly it was dark for a long time this morning. Did sunrise get pushed back about half an hour within a few days or something?

"Three day weekends are excellent and I think we should have more of them. I am far from alone.

A trial across multiple countries found a four-day work week reduces burnout. The World Economic Forum found four-day work weeks to be good in 2022. There’s also groups that run training courses on how to move your company to a four-day work week and they have a bunch of research also.

Since we’re all about data-driven decision making these days, I guess we’re all moving to adopt four-day work weeks as fast as we can, right? Given all the benefits and the research showing it’s a good thing to do? No?

Apparently it takes around 20 years for research to fight its way out of the dry prose of academic journals and into the wider populace.

A four-day work weeks seems weird only because we’re used to five, but there’s nothing natural about a two-day weekend. It’s remarkable how quickly people adjust to sudden changes in timekeeping, after all. Weeks aren’t real in the way that days are, and yet we make weird and arbitrary changes to how long a day is all the time and call it #daylightsaving.

Maybe we could start calling #fourdayweeks “#weekend saving” and start doing it for six months at a time to get people used to the idea. Once the people closer to the equator figure out what to do with their curtains and cows for half a year, we could suggest that this changing of the week twice a year is silly and we should just move to a permanent four day work week.

Then we can move on to the next goal: the three day work week.

Who’s with me?"

Working a four-day week without taking a pay cut improves health

A new peer-reviewed study finds a four-day work week improves both physical and mental health, reduces burnout and boosts job satisfaction. It's led some experts to say the federal government's productivity round table in August could help reframe work from being focused on hours to outcomes.
