“Your home is whatever in this world you love more than you love yourself. So that might be creativity, family, invention, adventure, faith, service, it might be raising corgies, I don't know - Your home is that thing to which you can dedicate your energies with such singular devotion that the ultimate results become inconsequential.” KnowsWorldHomeMightMotivationalEnergyResultsCreativityLove YouThis WorldAdventureUltimateInventionDevotionLove YourselfInconsequential Author:Elizabeth Gilbert
“[Serialism] is like a sailless ship, driven out to sea by its captain, who has grown tired of its being used only as a pontoon, and who is privately convinced that by subjecting life aboard to the rules of an elaborate protocol, he will prevent the crew from thinking nostalgically either of their home port or of their ultimate destination.…” ThinkingHomeUsedSeaUltimateTiredConvincedDrivenShipsDestinationCaptainsCrewPortProtocol Author:Claude Levi-Strauss
“One of the leading causes of divorce is sexual incompatibility. Why not mandate premarital sex, overseen, of course, by the Marriage Board to ensure that it was carried out and completed as required? The final exam question could be: "Was it good for you two?" For good measure, the engaged couple should be required to work together on a home improvement project like installing a kitchen sink or finishing a basement. That's the ultimate test of a marital relationship.” ShouldTwoHomeTogetherCoursesSexCausesCoupleProjectsTestsUltimateFinalsDivorceImprovementBoardsEngagedKitchenWorking TogetherWhy NotFinishingMandatesBasementsExamIncompatibilityLeading CausesKitchen SinksHome ImprovementFinal Exams Author:Mike Rosen
“Working from home meant we could vary snack and coffee breaks, change our desks or view, goof off, drink on the job, even spend the day in pajamas, and often meet to gossip or share ideas. On the other hand, we bossed ourselves around, set impossible goals, and demanded longer hours than office jobs usually entail. It was the ultimate "flextime," in that it depended on how flexible we felt each day, given deadlines, distractions, and workaholic crescendos.” IdeasHomeHandsJobsGivenFeltGoalHoursWorkViewsBreakImpossibleShareDrinkOfficeUltimateCoffeeEach DayGossipDistractionDesksFlexibleVaryDeadlineSnacksPajamasWorkaholicCrescendoGoofsOffice JobsCoffee Break Author:Diane Ackerman
