Nice. I'm using Synergy, which lets me run my mouse across screens and copy text, but there's no file copy. I'll check this out.
Cyborganize, lol
A convert! And there was great rejoicing in heaven.
I do indeed have a few resources on getting started with Emacs.
I recommend you use the Ergoemacs distro.
Here are my links -

You can do this in Emacs Org-Mode by using indirect buffer, vertical split screen, and visibility cycling. Everything is handled via hotkeys.
It's available for Mac.
I frequently work in this mode...

By the way, what script are you using for this forum? It's quite effective.
Awesome!
Why do I get the feeling that this is the Southpark crack baby basketball episode, and I'm the crack baby?

I wrote an article inspired by this discussion.
It's titled "Laziness and distraction: the ultimate productivity techniques"

Thanks Daly. I enjoyed it too. I'll look into Zabat.
I go a bit beyond mindfulness, which I view as excessively passive by itself.

You can read Refactor Your Wetware for more on big pipe/little pipe theory and l-mode vs r-mode.

Yes, that is precisely what I meant, however confusing my shorthand may be.
The inner monologue is logical insofar as it is limited to one word after another and therefore at best represents a linea...

Clearly I need to avoid pronouns. I was addressing Chris, not Daly with that previous comment. Overall I think Daly's understanding of it is pretty good.
Although Daly's last post misinterprets what...

You misunderstand the conscious/subconscious distinction I am using.
In this context, it is synonymous with the inner monologue.
For example, when programming, you have a subconscious "visualizati...

Focusing requires energy if you have to push out mental fragmentation, distraction, worry etc
It can be quite draining to force yourself to work on something under difficult circumstances, as I'm sur...

Yeah, infrequent checking is what Tim Ferriss recommends.
I don't find it's a problem. Yes, sometimes stressful things come through. But I have pretty good passive meditation barriers to stress.
