📖 What I’m Reading:

​Randy Gardner sleep deprivation experiment – Wikipedia​

• “After completing his record, Gardner slept for 14 hours and 46 minutes, awoke naturally around 8:40 p.m., and stayed awake until about 7:30 p.m. the next day, when he slept an additional ten and a half hours. Gardner appeared to have fully recovered from his loss of sleep, with follow-up sleep recordings taken one, six, and ten weeks after the fact, showing no significant differences. However, Gardner later reported experiencing serious insomnia decades after his sleep experiment.”

​Jerry Seinfeld Says Movies Are Over. Here’s Why He Made One Anyway – GQ​

• “It’s a relief to be around people who are happy doing what they’re doing. Maybe that’s another reason people go to see comedians. I’m not trying to be anything else.”

​The gift of ambition – David Heinemeier Hansson​

• Slow is smooth and smooth is fast.

💬 Quote of the Week:

“It is impossible to enjoy idling thoroughly unless one has plenty of work to do. There is no fun in doing nothing when you have nothing to do. Wasting time is merely an occupation then, and a most exhausting one. Idleness, like kisses, to be sweet must be stolen.”

-Jerome K. Jerome
