Kat/Kate, I LOVE the Harvard Business Review Article, but I just cannot even FATHOM the thought of goeing without social media for 30 days! Even if it was limited to select sites that were verboten, I would NOT be able to handel it. I DO believe that their second rule; that is to earmark a FIXED period of time for reviewing social media sites is a good one. I do follow this, as I limit my use of the WEB to no more then 4 hours a day on weekdays and 6 hours for the full weekend. This encourages me to get out and walk and keep in shape, which is a good thing. I commend this to the ENTIRE hive, as HBR is a great resource, even if we did NOT go to Harvard. YAY!!!
Law 360 says the future of the Supreme Court will be female. That would be great, if true, but as long as men rule the Senate, this will never happen. We must band together to purge the Senate of all of the old school males, and replace them either with females or younger males, who have been properly trained in #MeToo, and who are low in testosterone, so that we females can gain the stature we need for greater representation on the Supremes, and I think this should be done within the next 10 years, as the older males take leave, and the female slot held by RBG is kept my us.
