Polyphasic sleep, consciousness development, and addiction (workaholism etc)

March 8, 2010

This, and today’s other post, is my first real writing on this blog in nearly 8 months.  I have been through quite a journey, which I will share a very small part of today (by necessity – it would take a book to write it all). I keep on going back to (anyone’s) fundamental motivation [...]

Simple personal time-management / sleep-tracking spreadsheet tool

March 8, 2010

Update 11/14/2011: I now use the very simple and elegant Android app for this. I was looking around for some simple way to track my time on a 24-hour cycle, found a few articles related to tracking time spent browsing the internet, but nothing for my purposes so I made a simple spreadsheet with automatic [...]

Polyphasic sleep, consciousness development, and marriage – Part 2

June 7, 2009

About two months ago I wrote an article Polyphasic sleep, consciousness development and business development, in which I explained my fundamental motivation for doing this experiment, which is resolving my tortured relationship to time and money and then using this freedom for business development.  Since then, there have been extraordinary events in the development of [...]

Polyphasic sleep, consciousness development and business development

April 9, 2009

As I am heading into 3 months of my on-and-off experiment with polyphasic sleep a short retrospective (and prospective or forward-spective :) seems in order. First off, my situation is a bit unusual as the type of polyphasic sleep that I am doing, essentially biphasic (Winston Churchill’s schedule!), has the tremendous advantage of allowing one [...]

Changes and announcements

April 1, 2009

A few announcements: I have setup the “Marc’s Life” list and blog as its own blog, as it isn’t logically part of any of the other businesses that I am creating.  The archive of old posts is still available here. I have been using the Polyphasic sleep site also for generic personal check-ins – understandably [...]

Awakening into Relationship and Community, Part 1: My Story

March 21, 2009

There have been some pretty extraordinary events recently both for me and for my community (Trellis House), of which the most significant is my encounter with spiritual teacher Saniel Bonder. It’s too long to tell in a single mail, and so I am writing a three-part series about it:  To skip my narcissistic ramblings and [...]

Day 52 – Major new developments

March 5, 2009

I slept for most of 48 hours after the Morehouse course.  Started the polyphasic sleep with the early morning shift today, which feels good.  It seems that even when I get "crazy" and fall off my schedule for weeks, I return to it. Also getting back on track with diet and exercise.  Which is a  [...]

Life has been really wild here since Rebekah and I came back from Shalom Mountain and since I started my Yoga Transformational Bootcamp a week ago.  Rebekah and I are totally in-sync again, which is a beautiful thing when it happens.  With 3 Morehouse teachers visiting for the Basic Sensuality course, life has become even [...]

Rebekah and I got back from a 4-day Shalom Mountain retreat yesterday and I am in very fine shape.  Started the polyphasic sleep again with the early morning shift and will be going to the yoga bootcamp group that I founded in a bit.  My Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS) officially ended yesterday with a strenuous [...]

Day 26 – end of a wild ride, beginning a new one

February 7, 2009

My health back to 75% (as predicted, despite very poor self-care last 2 days).  Spent most of the day in very fun and productive business networking and personal meetings.  Very-very expanded and happy.  No news about the tentative job offer I received yesterday, will wait a few days ("junior contractor" position at an e-learning company, [...]
