Insatisfaction Signals
Five seconds to act my impulse. I'll kill my idea after that. I'll never feel like it. Forcing myself, out of my head, past my feelings, outside my confort zone, where the magic is.

Perfecting Usability
Usability. I hate this word. Just another dispositional concept. Operationalism should be dead. For good. A serious thinker shall never convert a behavior into an essence. Like adaptability, intelligence, etc.
I prefer simplicity. It is not dispositional. Not all qualities are. Simplicity sure is essentialist. Use easiness if you consider simplicity is too metaphysical. Use any quality you like. A virtue is nice for an idea of perfection.
Seeking perfection can hinder when we see that what we're doing is not perfect anymore. We stop fighting. But it's the fight that is beautiful, not the product. Perfection seems too easy. There is no opponent.

Hunt on Method
Simple rules, as with the birds simulation, lead to complex behavior. Complex rules, as with the tax law in most countries, lead to stupid behavior.[Andrew Hunt, **The Pragmatic Programmers**]

Adams On Method
Let us think the unthinkable, let us do the undoable. Let us prepare to grapple with the ineffable itself, and see if we may not eff it after all.

Easier Done than Said
Our man was programming his electronic calendar to remind him to get up from the chair and move around. It was not working really well. At the end of each day, he could check that task: how could he have not moved all day?
So he started to program his electronic calendar to remind him to do actions. Forty squats at ten; a hundred jumps at eleven, etc. Or simply one of the ten dragon moves
Our man had to do these tasks. It was easier to do these physical tasks than to endure them nagging him from the inbox all day long. This nagging inspires him how he'll design his overall lists of what to do: easier done than said.

When to Stop
The calendar keeps stuff to notice. Here is what to do. Here is when.
The calendar keeps stuff unnoticed. Here is what goes without saying.
The calendar could notice when to stop.

The youPod
Going outside, walking or running, uncovering your ears, rediscovering the music flowing from outside, flowing from inside. Connecting to the sounds surrounding with the old fashioned youPod.
The youPod costs nothing, weights nothing. The youPod requires no batteries and can be immersed under water. No need to download, to upgrade, to sync, or to organize anything.
To disconnect from the youPod, simply wear earplugs.

One Sheet
Everything that needs to be done each week can be put into one sheet of paper.
This sheet of paper can be written once and for all and reprinted every week.
Each day, one can then look at the sheet to see what needs to be done.
That way, I don't need to have daily reminders.
One and only one sheet.

Minding Motion
Minding motion through stuff. Staying on course, dismissing distractions. Finishing off, with a touch, looking without blinking. Enjoying ephemeral lasting emptiness. Attuning to the state. Still, minding motion.

Interruptions
Come here, I've got to show you something. Dring. Oh, the meeting starts in one minute. Look, news. I sent you an emails. Can we discuss this over lunch? Tap on your shoulder. Knock on your door. Instant message. Random cell attack. Are you there, where are you, can I talk to you?
Managing means interrupting. Managers are the problem. Working means investing long time spans working. Interruptions entail no work. Work places are interruption places. Hence the generalized impossibility to work at work.
When was your last true emergency? Mine was a false alarm.
