Hi friends!
Happy November! Most folks will get an extra hour of sleep this weekend as the majority of the United States sets clocks back by one hour. If you’ve ever wondered why we “fall back” in November and “spring forward” in the Spring, then you’re not alone. Reuters provides the complete history of daylight saving time.
And if you have strong feelings against this whole daylight “savings” thing, then you’re not alone either! There has been ongoing debate about whether to keep it or cancel it, and Forbes offers the essential guide to canceling daylight saving time for good.
Looking for the perfect sleep mask to block that early morning light? Check out our roundup of the best sleep masks to “fall back” with.
Other cool things to wax on…
Write That Novel
If you’ve ever thought about turning that story in your head into a novel, November may very well be the best time to unleash those creative juices. NaNoWriMo (National Novel Writing Month) helps you along your book-writing journey. I wrote the first draft of my second middle-grade fiction novel during the 2019 NaNoWriMo. Even though the month just started, you can take this weekend to catch up on your daily word count!
Now And Then-Mania
A new Beatles song dropped this week. Did you get a chance to listen to it? Setting aside the debate about whether the song is a true Beatles tune, it certainly leaves the fingerprints of a classic Fab Four collaboration. Read Variety’s review here: The Beatles’ ‘Now and Then’ Is a Bittersweet Finale for the Fab Four’s Recording Career.
