In February, I launched my personal blog and wrote 7 essays about:

#AI and the future of work

#Longevity
#Writing
#Relationships

Here is my first monthly newsletter:

February Notes — The First Letter – Mateo Freeden

I got up this morning, looked at my list of #FourDayWorkWeek jobs to do outside …

And within 10 minutes the drizzle had started. On and off all day. I managed to swear at some jobs inside.

This Gen Xer supports this idea fully, especially if I can do all four days remotely: “[Gen Z] is the perfect generation to champion a shorter workweek. Not only does the reduced schedule offer more leisure time, which this generation prizes over compensation, but it has also been proven to reduce stress, anxiety, burnout, and depression.”

These are the real reasons Gen Z wants a four-day workweek

Not only does the youngest generation of workers think this shift is ideal—they also think it’s inevitable.

The five-day workweek is a pillar of modern life, but it isn't backed by science, ancient wisdom, or divine decree. It's simply a relic of the industrial age. Review-> #BookThreads #BookSky #BookReview #DoMoreInFour #RBMedia #AscentAudio #NetGalley ARCReview #ALC #Audiobook #FourDayWorkweek

Now that I’m winding down at the end of #FourDayWorkWeek i look out in the backyard and see the things I meant to do today but didn’t do because I didn’t write them on my list.

Dead fall will just have to amuse itself until the next time I get the mulcher out in 2026.

Had a tiny chuckle at the political meeting yesterday.

One bloke said, “I can’t find a job because of all the immigrants!”

Bloke next to him said, “I’m an immigrant. 20 years ago.”

First bloke took a moment and then said, “Me too. 25 years.” 😮

Aside from that his point was sound: he’d work if he could but nobody is hiring. The steps to prove this to unemployment are degrading and unreasonable. MSD need to stop making people cry.
