888

According to minimal internet research, Mr. Robert Owen, by 1817, had developed the idea of the eight hour work day, and the accompanying completion of that idea: eight hours sleep and eight hours "for what we will".

Social reform, utopian socialism, and the rest of Owen's politics aside, I'm beginning to think of this as a Fair way to live each day.

My new venture occassionally calls for a weekend lesson, and often calls for a weekend gig. The seven day workweek is not ideal nor desirable, but it certainly seems less daunting within the 888 plan.
