How to Use This Website
Timesizing®com
This website is not for everyone. There are three levels of purposeful living in this odd world: (1) dealing with problems in business, sports or religion, where you're boxing with shadows set up by the power elite to distract you from level 3; (2) dealing with problems in science, like the subject of Dava Sobel's book, Longitude: The True Story of a Lone Genius Who Solved the Greatest Scientific Problem of His Time (1996); and (3) dealing with problems that are holding up the physical, spiritual or scientific advance of humanity, as in Carnoy & Shearer's Economic Democracy (1980) or Edward Griffin's Creature from Jeckyll Island (1994). This site is for people on level 3.

Ordinarily you would click on us daily, check out the daily update up top on the homepage under Hope du Jour and Doom du Jour. At the moment we consider Bush's velvet coup in the United States so destructive, we are in the process of moving to Canada, an imperfect to be sure but one that still has paper trails and auditability in its elections (and five viable political parties with serious differences, not just two without).
Once you've scoped the daily update, go back up and click on "Timesizing awareness" right under the date and scan the day's articles on timesizing, or alas, untimesizing, the world over. If you have any particular companies (eg: Nucor) or countries you're interested in (eg: South Korea), use your browser's search feature to search that page. If you think there may have been some news on it in a past month, use the links at the bottom of that page to access the time period you want and search again.
We also have focused pages and years of data on problems that Timesizing eases such as long workweeks and biz (business) downsizing that you can access from the left side of the boxed menu just over halfway down our homepage, the menu with the little Timesizing guy holding the tape measure over his clock head. The right side of the menu has the 5 phases of the Timesizing program plus when to 'transition' to the next program.
There are various things to click on for more info throughout the home page, and there are two horizontal menus of topics you can click on - one at the bottom of the daily update near the top of the homepage, that starts "Features: missed yesterday's hope du jour?", and one near the bottom of the homepage titled "More angles on Timesizing."
We should call particular attention to a 3-in-1 item at the beginning of the bottom line of our top menu, the one that starts "Features...":
time trilogy: vol.I • vol.II • vol.III
which is our repeatedly updating hardcopy. Vol. I has a definition of "time." Vol. II has a definition of history and progress. And Vol. III has our first run at slapping the economic design down on paper. We rushed it to the printer in time for the big Democratic Primary for Joe Kennedy's soon-to-be-vacant Congressional seat in September/1998. To be honest, it starts off well in the first few chapter-equivalents but then needs de-typo-fication, deleting of repeats and re-orgs & pothole-filling for the non-sequiturs. In short, it needs to be well-edited, well-published and well-publicized. We're workin' on it.
Do check out past hopes/dooms du jour any time we update and you haven't caught it.
After all this, you then email us with any further questions or suggestions you have, or typos or errors you find. Basically we're bored, BORED, with the same old big human problems, year after year, decade after decade, and we want faster, more substantial progress, preferably in our lifetime. We want homo sapiens cromagnonensis, us, to quit being an embarrassment to intelligent life in this quadrant of the galaxy. We sense that saving the world is a matter of repeatedly seeing the obvious, but this can take a lot of patience and require a lot of serendipity, so if the next step that we should take to forward this agenda happens to occur to you, email us quick before it slips your mind. We give credit where credit's due.
Then you get onto your favorite Web chatrooms and bulletinboards and elists and recommend Timesizing.com. Write letters to the editors of your local and regional newspapers and mention the shorter-hours imperative in an automating and robotizing world if we want to have any consumer markets left - and recommend Timesizing.com. Tell all your friends and family to check out Timesizing.com daily cuz we're not going to get any real human progress until we get on with this agenda. And write to your congress(wo)men and senators to tell them that Republican pollster Frank Luntz said on Bill Moyers' NOW program on July 2 that he's discovered that the 4% of Americans who still have not made up their minds about this election tend to be working women, younger, new mothers, and fairly low-wage earners who feel what they need more than anything else is...free time (Molly Ivins has a recent column on this at http://www.alternet.org/election04/19183/). And free time & more pay is exactly what the Timesizing.com program brings to all working and un(der)employed Americans.
Thanks for the question.
