February 9, 2026: The Couch Rocket

What’s the fastest you’ve ever traveled?

Most people would answer an airplane ride, since commercial jets fly about 550 mph while cruising at altitude.

But you’ve moved much faster. Actually, you’re going faster right now.

A little fact that melts my mind: the Earth travels around the sun at 67,000 miles an hour.

While sipping a relaxed cup of coffee, you’re hurtling through space like a rocket.

So technically, sitting on your couch makes you roughly 122 times quicker than a jet pilot, which really puts your productivity into perspective.

You deserve a break today.
