A couple weeks ago I was sitting inside a Miami Beach restaurant with some friends over a shared dessert. Let’s call it girl talk. One of the girls brought up the book Option B by Sheryl Sandberg and Adam Grant.

The App for the Not-So-Morning Person
“The early bird gets the worm,” said no one that likes to sleep in, ever. That has been my daily struggle for as long as I can remember.

And also to realize how fast we lose track of why we started. So I have taken the… Continue reading Where Did Time Go?
