The future, my bright black hole.
Happy new year everybody. Resolutions for 2008 include
- To get distracted less. In late 2007, I have canceled my RSS subscriptions for a number of news outlets (less is more!). Following the news all day yields no benefits - the news junkie isn't better informed at the end of the day. I've gotten rid of all those Apple rumor sites much earlier.
- To listen better. Starting with a research notebook and regular note-taking in talks and meetings, I keep attention levels where they should be. It's already begun to work for me.
On a personal note. I have no concrete idea where I'm going to be six months from now. Options are being discussed, further suggestions are welcome (will have PhD from Edinburgh. Want university position or an opportunity in a research/dev lab.)
The future is a black hole. It's bright!
