If you want a fancier timer, search online for “Countdown timers for email” and you’ll find many options — most of which require a small fee.

Here’s a fascinating article from Rolling Stone magazine that describes the event. Wise Words from George Orwell “Sometimes the first duty of intelligent men is the restatement of the obvious.” *** Any reading, listening, quoting, resourcing that you think we should share?
