Open Loops 3/30/2010: Articles I Think Worth Passing Along
Posted on March 30, 2010 by LJ
Tuesdays are open loop at SimpleProductivity blog.
Farm productivity is a stretch for a personal productivity blog, but productivity nonetheless. This turned up on one of my searches, and I thought it very interesting: “The Vertical Farm Project – Agriculture for the 21st Century and Beyond”
Unclutterer has a great list of “10 more uncluttering things to do every day”. It’s not just about decluttering, though. I agree that resetting the home each evening is crucial to a peaceful morning. I also agree with vacuuming every day (but I also have a robot that does this, see The Roomba Died, so it’s not a burden). However, I have trouble with “never leave a room empty-handed”. I find that while I can appreciate this principle, I often find myself off on rabbit trails doing other things when I follow this rule.
A fun article over at Sankofa Song Sound of Healing, “Eff Cramming (a.k.a. In Defense of Playtime)” has some great points nestled amid the very unique blogging style. One of the very real dangers of increasing productivity and following systems is the sheer overwhelm that may occur. You turn into a human doing rather than a human being.
It’s good to have a reminder that there are always things that can be done in the small amount of time you have. Small Notebook has a great list of “31 Things You Can Do in 1 Minute (or Less)”. Remember that a bucket that leaks a drop at a time gets just as empty as if it had been kicked over.
