Set Strict Time Boundaries The key to staying sane and not burning out is to set strict boundaries on time. If the clock hits 7 p.m. on a weekday, even if I’m in the middle of something, I stop and pick it back up the next day. What I’ve found is that I get more done in less time by forcing myself to stick to this schedule, which has totally transformed the way I work. – James Simpson, GoldFire Studios … [Read more...] about 12 Busy Leaders Share How to Balance a Hectic Work Schedule With Living Life Well

International Insider: Netflix By Numbers; Cannes Question Marks; Epic Games’ Movie Push; Bye-Bye ‘Peaky Blinders’
Cannes Question Marks Kicking the Cannes to the summer? The Cannes Film Festival is continuing to weigh up a postponement of its traditional May kickoff until a date between late June and late July, organizers told my colleague Andreas Wiseman. With the pandemic still causing havoc across the world and with the vaccine rollout in France not moving as quickly as hoped, a May 11 start date is regarded by the industry as increasingly unlikely. Ad event Cannes Lions is taking place at the end of June, while private capital get-together IPEM is due to be staged in early July, so mid-July is the most logical landing spot right now. … [Read more...] about International Insider: Netflix By Numbers; Cannes Question Marks; Epic Games’ Movie Push; Bye-Bye ‘Peaky Blinders’

Taylor Swift Rips Scooter Braun For Selling Her Masters For $300M
It's unclear if the bad blood between Scooter and Taylor will dissipate ... there sure is a lot of bad blood. Remember, Scott's company bought Taylor's old label, Big Machine, back in June 2019. This, of course, pissed off Taylor, who ranted against Scooter for snapping up her early catalog ... claiming the move blindsided her and stripped her of her life's work. … [Read more...] about Taylor Swift Rips Scooter Braun For Selling Her Masters For $300M
America’s Longest War Takes a Deadly New Turn
Since Donald Trump was elected in 2016 on a pledge to end endless wars, he has compensated for the drawdown of U.S. ground forces — there are around 10,000 in Afghanistan, down from a peak of more than 100,000 in 2010-11 — by loosening restrictions on airstrikes. The ramped-up air war was intended to bring the Taliban to the negotiating table with the U.S., which finally happened in February, when the two sides set conditions for the U.S. withdrawal. But experts say the airstrikes and resultant spike in civilian deaths only help the Taliban’s cause and undermine a central government the U.S. has spent billions of dollars propping up over almost two decades.
