Fast Company Now
I do not wish there were more hours in a day--how many more is enough? There are always enough hours to be productive and spend a few minutes living in the present moment. ( a friend told me she heard that most of us spend less than 11% of the day in the moment.)
Fast Company Now does a interesting piece on the pace and pain of our lives. I am personally comforted that multitasking is not a cognitive reality. I can move to and fro between tasks at a rapid rate , doing more than one at a time does not work. (not very well.)

"It's Good Work If you can get it"
Anyone hear that anymore? If not there are a variety of versions such as "that's why they call it work!" Even TGIF says a great deal about our collective feelings about how we spend a good half of our time on the planet.
Finding "good work"--that is meaningful and pays the house note is not easy for many people.
On the other hand I included the link below to provide a fresh example of what is possible.

A Heroes Welcome
"In 1492 --( Christopher) Columbus sailed the ocean blue" That grade school ditty and a few cracks on his later career is the extent of knowledge that many Columbus, Ohio residents have of our namesake. I open the "HeroTown" series with a link to additional information on this courageous, visionary ( and very flawed) super hero.
For his secret origins turn in the direction of good history books that paint a picture of a complex individual. Now it is time for the Columbus super heroes to share how they discovered their superpowers and describe an important guide, teacher, guru who acted as a mentor.
