Summersault Blog

At this very moment, hundreds of people around the country seem to be flocking to the Summersault-hosted website belonging to Dancing Rabbit, an ecovillage located in Missouri. Why? Their intentional community was featured in tonight’s episode of the FX show “30 Days“, hosted by Morgan Spurlock (of “Supersize Me” fame). We at Summersault have had professional and personal ties to Dancing Rabbit since 1999, and we’re happy to be hosting their site (even with the onslaught of traffic!), especially given our own mission of working to build and sustain communities. We hope the national spotlight is favorable to them, and is an educational opportunity for those wanting to learn more about community building and living off the grid.

A few of us were recently having a conversation with some colleagues about how effectively our respective staffs spend the time we’re present in the office. There’s a new related study out that shows U.S. workers “waste” up to 2 hours a day, with the important distinction that older workers (55+) only wasted an average of 30 minutes per day, while the younger whipper-snappers are the ones who apparently can’t stay focused.
