I'm also a big fan of using standard notepad programs (this, TextEdit on OS X) but struggle to find a good program for mobile note taking. Any suggestions for iOS or Android?
Does this mean you typically request same or next day bookings? From my experience, most AirBnB hosts are wary of doing anything last second as they typically need to plan ahead to accommodate a guest.
Granted this is anecdotal, but using a colleagues surface pro 2 recently was a frustrating experience. Keyboard had horrible response time and the device itself had a lag of a few seconds.
Couldn't see myself using one anytime soon. That being said, I'll give the Surface 3 a test drive as I don't want to write off a new product based on the failings of its older siblings.
I absolutely feel the same way. While those extra few hours aren't necessarily used "efficiently" in a work/study manner, I find I can focus better during the day knowing I'll have time to have plenty of unstructured time later on.
I've always been fascinated by discussions surrounding the varying amount of sleep necessary for different individuals. I feel like "unlocking" the secrets of these folks who can get by on such little sleep would do wonders for humanity, though I'm unsure if that is even within our abilities.
As for a personal anecdote, I've experienced both ends of the sleep spectrum: in the past couple years I've had two 4-month long periods where I required little to no sleep to function as well as I ever have in both work and social settings. My personal belief is that this can be chalked up to a healthy diet, constant exercise, and an abundance of happiness. Also, I caution those who pine for the ability to function on less sleep: as the lady in the article mentions, it can absolutely cause issues in one's relationships. Other than that however, all positives in my experiences.
On the flip side, I've dealt with multiple bouts of varying degrees of depression that have caused my daily hours of sleep to skyrocket to ~10-12 hours/day. After experiencing both ends of the required sleep spectrum I'm convinced that, at least for me personally, happiness and health plays a huge role.
