People often try to overwhelm you with facts, theories, and statements. It is easy to just pour them until the opponent gives up.
I made up this heuristics, and I’ve used it for some time. It probably isn’t original and I’m certain others have made better systems, but this is working for me.
Did it really happen?

I happened to check something I thought I can check later. I learned two things:
I almost missed an important deadline (bad!)
I have lot – a lot – less work to do than I thought (good!)
I should write this somewhere where I can see it every day.
My addiction to certain blogs is practically gone. I still read some of them occasionally because I don’t see any harm in doing so.
Last Monday I started a 30 day challenge about ubiquitous capture but dropped it in a few days. The reason was that it was too effective. I wrote down the three most [...]

While I still think watching Youtube should be banned at parties, yesterday a friend of mine showed me this amazing bass solo by Larry Graham.
Yesterday was the fourth and last day of my experiment. Now when the novelty has worn off, it doesn’t feel much more effective than before. Especially the first two hours were a drag and I had very little done. However at the end of the day I realized it wasn’t that bad at all.
Boredom. Quite [...]
