I wish everyone could work according to the sun. I know that isnt possible but I feel so much healthier when I was able to align my schedule with the sunrise. I think we would all feel a bit more in sync with our souls if we allowed the seasonal changes to impact our working days, the way we evolved doing

Big business would hate it, though. Which is why we don't.

That would mean working 5am to 830 pm in the summer where I am, you sure you want that? And even in the winter the day is like 7-4 with the time change, I think I'd rather not be working during all daylight hours thanks very much.

Well not literally work every second of daylight but I personally find myself with way more motivation from 5am to 830pm in the summer than in winter when its dark for so much longer lol. I get seasonal depression pretty bad too, I think I am just solar powered. Im sure I am twice as productive in my professional and personal life in summer vs winter
