I have a Big List of Things To Try, or BLoTTT, because everything I do has to have a tacky self-helpy name even if I make it up myself. Lately I’ve just been, you know, trying them. It seems obvious, but it’s easy to make this list and not do anything with it because you’re always too busy or focused on something else or whatever. But really, it took two minutes to install f.lux and f.lux is awesome.
So is:
Boomerang
Anki
Evernote
Pomodoro
Sunlight
IFTTT
Not so awesome (for me):
Rails
Napping
Large amounts of caffeine
But I learned!
The Rails tutorial I started introduced me to TDD. TDD is great, so I’m learning to apply it to Django.
Easier to appreciate proper sleep now.
Low doses of caffeine are also great, and as yet it’s nowhere near as addictive for me as it seems to be for other people. Still on a 1 day on, 2 days off cycle, to be safe.
