Sleep

http://steveworsley.com/on/sleep

Of a frivolous nature. Sleep is one of those weird things which we do every day but never get any better at doing and, unfortunately, we don’t live in a sleep friendly society. Because we require people to be in work at 9am regardless of their natural sleep patterns. It’s hard to miss the reasons from experts as to why sleep is important: your body regenerates, your mind can work things out and store memories. This is meant to signal to the mind that it should be preparing for sleep. An ideal routine.

32

http://steveworsley.com/on/32

Of a frivolous nature. It’s not how old you are but how old you feel and my knees are telling me I’m 72. Oh hell. When did I become so old? When I was 18 I remember talking to a friend who was 30 and thinking ‘man, you are gnarly’ and now I’m that gnarly dude. Although, saying I’m old is doing folks in their twilight years a disservice. Now those guys can wear the Old badge with honour and demand free buses, use of inappropriate comments and feet cleaning. Getting to know you. I’m really not academic&#46...

Choosing a Vocation

http://steveworsley.com/on/choosing-a-vocation

Of a frivolous nature. Have you ever had that itch or fear which makes you think that you should probably be doing something to leave your mark on the world before you breath your last breath, relax your muscles and gracefully fart your existence into the wind? I’ve been feeling this lately. It could be my age, career or lack of kids to keep me. There’s a few reasons why I find the concept interesting:. This would be possible. These act as a starting point - world peace is impossible for one person to ac...

Five Whys

http://steveworsley.com/on/five-whys

Of a frivolous nature. If you’ve ever had a hard decision to make, stumbling through a fuzzy cloud of choices and apprehension, then the Five Whys technique might help. It will guide you in finding the root cause behind a problem or your true motivation behind an action. Repeat up to five times and give yourself time to think through the answers. I fancy a bag of crisps. Why do you want a bag of crisps? If I want food then I must be hungry. Why are you hungry? Why do you want to procrastinate?

Walking

http://steveworsley.com/on/walking

Of a frivolous nature. The hills are a alive with the sound of tourists, littered across the beautiful landscape, in single file, traipsing along a designated path, until they reach their designated goal where they can stand tall and breathe deep the fresh air, look at the view and traipse back down. All the while, the paths get full, the mountain deteriorates, and the sheep look on, bewildered. We should take bags with us on our walks and clean that crap up. By two at the latest I would be on the road&#...

Ghosts

http://steveworsley.com/on/ghosts

Of a frivolous nature. Since before the Shades of the Dead were encountered in Homer’s Odyssey, ghosts have been written into literature, igniting the imaginations of the living. But it’s when spirits move from the underworld to the real world that the stories can become transparent. This article explains why I don’t believe in ghosts. There are questions which I think need asking if you believe in ghosts and if you’ve got the answers let me know! Or would it see right through you? We are essentially mad...

Basic Income

http://steveworsley.com/on/basic-income

Of a frivolous nature. Imagine not having to work. How would you spend your day? You could travel, read, volunteer, play board games. Spend more time with the family, probably do lots of different things. Humans are doers in their nature and for the majority of our lives we spend much of our energy doing for someone else. But maybe not for much longer. Automation in the knowledge labour market is only going to get better. We’re lucky if we have a choice in what we work on. Maybe you enjoy your work b...

Board Games

http://steveworsley.com/on/board-games

Of a frivolous nature. Looking for Board Game Resources. Christmas: the season of giving, festivities and 3 hours competitively buying real estate in London. I have never completed a game of Monopoly. I don't think it's even possible. It's the gaming equivalent of trying to touch your right elbow with your right hand. And anyway the best thing about Monopoly was the tiny money. The board game renaissance. In the early 2000's board games began to increase in quality, accessibility and variety. This ha...

Spring Recipe Review

http://steveworsley.com/food/spring-recipe-review

Of a frivolous nature. Update: The good and the great recipes have been consolidated into one page. These are just the bad. Please take a look over at the recipes. Spiced beef with bashed beans. This was awful. It was probably the cannellini beans, they came out looking like crushed fingetips. The meat wasn’t very tasty and it was pretty dry. Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall Book: Light and Easy.
