Don’t Fall Back If You Want to Leap Ahead – A Daylight Savings Time Hack | Vol. 19

On November 6, 2022 at 2am, most of us will set our clocks back an hour. It’s the annual shift from daylight savings time to standard time.

About ten years ago, I met Madan Birla, author of Fedex Delivers. We were talking about craft. “A writer’s job is to connect the dots,” he shared. “So if you want to be better, you need to collect more dots than the average writer.
