A GUID, unique joke [2]

Micro [1]
A new micro practice: every night as the plates spin down, I write myself a Mac OS sticky note. When I wake up in the morning, this sticky note is waiting for me.
The rule is that I write down everything I need to do that day into a sticky note, and it has to fit without scrolling. Since 70-75 words fit into my note, that’s about 3½ twitters, or 2 del.icio.us descriptions.
That actually turns out to be a lot of space for describing what needs to happen. More than enough. Today my note only has one thing to do on it! But it’s a hard thing, one that I’ve been putting off for some time, and one that’ll soak up all the time I dump on it.
⁂
Hiveminder is overwhelming before noon. I keep individual project logs, but I don’t want to filter through all that stuff in the morning.
But, in the morning, I can read a few sentences and maybe an encouraging slogan.
And maybe the few sentences, or the encouraging slogan, will energize me enough to open up Hiveminder and the project logs and start typing.
There is a quiet desperation to this practice. Hopefully it’s just something I’m using to claw my way through the graduate degree — hopefully in a month, I’ll be able to open up my laptop and confront the work I need to do without this layer of indirection.

Satellite in the area
Same adapted (hands-free) work process as Have geek looking for artists. The theme was transportation/mapping of space:
(A full-size version of this image.)
The SmartNav is still super tiring to use, especially for finicky rectangular selection and trying to more or less line things up along whichever axis. I probably don’t use it enough, or long enough, to get truly acclimated.
