Saw an article a while back about Earth's core possibly reversing directions. What affect would that have on day to day lives of people?

It's not reversing directions. There is some discussion if it is rotating slightly slower or faster than the rest of Earth, and if that changed recently. "Slightly" here means something like 0.001%.
