“In the 20th Century, the basic financial entity was the corporation. The corporation raised money from investors and distributed some of it as salary to employees. Corporations were under pressure from investors to meet certain goals, and corporations put pressure on employees to behave a certain way in order to meet these goals. The financial incentives for employees to suppress their own personalities and emotions were indirect.
“In the 21st Century, the basic financial entity is the individual. Individuals are exposed to the whims of the market directly, incentivizing them to suppress their own personality and emotions in order to “be themselves” in a way that is likely to generate the highest financial return.
“This means creators and entrepreneurs are freer than ever. But it also means they are trapped in an invisible financial machine that encourages them to completely forget who they are, to become the person that the market needs them to be.”

“Short afternoon naps at the workplace lead to significant increases in productivity, psychological well-being and cognition. In contrast, an extra 30 minutes sleep at night shows no similar improvements.” [Pedro Bessone]
Within Islamic Culture, the practice of praying Tahajjud, the voluntary prayers made during the last third of the night, plus the Siesta, the short nap taken after the Dhuhr Mid-Day prayers, seems to align with this research.

Daytona
I remember Dave Winer writing on his blog something to the effect that he was using Twitter as his notebook and that that was a “Mistake”,
Because he should be using his own blog to do that, and to not default to Twitter, a silo.
So I searched his site using DuckDuckGo, and the results were useless, all out of context, which is exactly what Ken Smith so eloquently described earlier today.
Ah right, I should be using Dave Winer’s own Search Engine tool, Daytona, rather than an external one, to find it :
http://daytona.scripting.com/?q=mistake&collection=scriptingnews
Didn’t find what I was looking for.
However the search results between ContextLess DuckDuckGo and the Abundance of Richness in Context was night and day.
Perhaps that’s why it’s called Daytona ?
Didn’t find what I was originally looking for, I believe it’s because Daytona cannot presently search back more than a fixed number of recent years of the Scripting News archives.
This one line These two lines more than any other jumped out at me,
“… All ways of writing a blog, without actually writing a blog.”
“… All in the service that the idea of blogging was something worthwhile in itself, rather than actually doing it.”
Posting this as reminder to myself to not NOT write [sic].
