Clean Surfaces

First and foremost, clean up working surfaces. This is supposed to be done at the end of working periods, but it seldom is. Perhaps because there are lots of surfaces to cover.

Desktops. Inboxes. Tasks lists. Files and folders. Sticks and disks. Tools and machinery. Links and bots. Everything that stand in the way must get out. Everything, both real and virtual flavours.

The time spent enhances productivity and, most importantly, security. To backup everything before work, in case something goes wrong, crazy, or simply experimental. Freakily controling versions, at the very least forwarding yourself stable releases.

Working Around

A creative process where a man has to get something done. He does something else, and another thing, then some more stuff he does not need to do right now. The undue dilligence to keep his feet moving away from his task made the man quite efficient, as long as he knows how to profit from his structured procrastination.

Meditating layout

Without CSS.
Without specific fonts.
Without a computer. Phone.
Without colors.
Without your browser.
Without patience.
Without context.
Without seeing images.

Aknowledgements. I would like to thank René Descartes for his ever lasting collaboration.
