I do a lot of odd shift patterns based on my own creative adventures. At times I’ll lose a couple of days of sleep and eat barely a thing since I’m so involved in what I’m doing.

I find I get a good nights kip and those 2 lost nights that would normally wrecked me have very little effect on me. I’m more on the ball, awake and aware. I get more work done and also I consider it higher quality than it used to be.

I sometimes get little tingles in my brain like it’s just had a massage. It feels like a positive thing but then again it could be the beginnings of losing my marbles.

It occurred to me that my deeper discussions should be on a fast day.

The opposite is true in real life. Most sessions, meetings, or conventions have lots of food and alcohol.

How would the world shift if we had our most important meetings on our fast days?

There are true stories about companies like Google that give their employees free food. All you can eat. Some may be healthy but not most. It’s usually the quantities of free food that people gorge on.

I’m guilty of that.

As a board member of a non profit, I participated in events where the food was over the top in private settings. That’s when I started to think that the money allocation may be misdirected. We were required to raise more funds rather than to have meaningful discussions.

Something was wrong with that picture. I left for other reasons but it left me with the impression that the non profit sector is a for profit opportunity for some within the organization.

I remember a client who would spout in front of his sales teams, on a weekly basis: FOOD IS A WEAPON!!

They would nod. I would half smile.

This overweight client was serious about his food & intent on using food as a bribe to get more clients.

I think this is common in our cultures. ✔
