Ariadne's Thread & Serendipity
12/9/2011
One of the delights of life is serendipity! Yesterday I published a rather somber reflection on my life and this time of year on my blog [ http://www.exuberanteclectic.com/2011/12/somber-thoughts-chri...
You could be right - but makes me wonder what will be the mechanism which will replace the learning benefit of using longhand - will it be in the act of using dictation hard/software or of scanning? W...
A couple of points:
First of all, I would never use notebooks for note-taking related to future writing projects. That's asking for problems, most of which can be overcome by use of index cards. I pr...
May I suggest something which seems perhaps counter-intuitive given our technology?
And that is taking notes longhand.
I have typed notes into all kinds of programs, but quite frankly, when I am tak...

I just checked the Qiqqa site for the first time in a few months, and it seem like the developers are moving ahead.
Here's the main url: http://www.qiqqa.com/

WhizFolders vs Scrivener for Windows
11/29/2011
I haven't looked at WhizFolders for a while. Looking at the latest version today I see some nice enhancements. The ability to have different icons for notes is useful, as well as being attractive.

memomaster

I just downloaded MemoMaster, and got the free version - not the trail version. There are many features not available in the trial version, so there is no way for me to adequately test MM to see if I ...

Choices, Mindulness, Getting Things Done
11/16/2011
Franz, thank you. I am going through particularly desperate times, and people's support of the affiliate ads on my site are much appreciated (though to be hones I need to at least tripple the number o...
Fabulous idea, Chris! Many thanks.

Debunking the "1,000 hours of practice" myth
11/15/2011
JB, it's Jon Kabat-Zinn.
The practice of mindfulness has no specific goals. the teachers say even to have the goal of becoming mindful is not helpful.
If there is a goal to mindfulness practice it w...

JB, I appreciate this discussion. Thank you.
I will look at Refactor Your Wetware.
I think the difficulties with this kind of a discussion arise around defining terms, having mutually agreed upon de...
Choices, Mindulness, Getting Things Done

In the wake of our discussion yesterday around "Debunking the 1000 Hours of Practice Myth," in which I talked up mindfulness, the following post from my blog may be of relevance (or not!): http://bit....
I suspect the messages to oneself can be easily set up without using an outside program, and with saving to Google or Dropbox. I also am leary of all the various cloud services because I know, given p...
Alexander, I can see why the calendar view offers an advantage. That gives me something to think about it!

Debunking the "1,000 hours of practice" myth

JB, your definition of logical is interesting.
But to me, it is like saying that because one makes one step after another by definition one walks in a straight line.
I don't know about you, but I ha...
Debunking the "1,000 hours of practice" myth

JB, thanks for clarifying - I wasn't sure at the time whether you were referring to Chris, or to me, or to both of us.
I'm sorry if I misinterpreted what you are referring to by subconscious. What do...
Debunking the "1,000 hours of practice" myth

I am not sure, JB, whether I have misunderstood you, or you have misunderstood me.
From what you've written it would seem as though you are equating consciousness with inner monologue - I would not a...

My apologies to JB - I had mistakenly said Dr Andus introduced the article in question, but when I reviewed the thread just now, I saw it was JB.

Attachment to conscious outcome is not a useful outcome orientation.
Conscious awareness of what one's desired outcome is at the time one needs to be aware of it can be very useful.

Alexander, are you familiar with RecentX - I trialed it, and when I get some spare cash was thinking of buying it. It keeps track of everything = folders, files, visited web sites, etc?
