Hey yall, this is going to be a blog about me. My name is Levi. I never liked the idea of publishing stuff about myself, so it is not going to be ABOUT myself, just random thoughts, philosophical rumblings, stuff I care about for all the internet to read.

The low hanging fruit

-

This is about task prioritization. What do you do first? The most important things should come first, right? Sure, but first, you just get a couple of quick tasks out of the way so you can better concentrate on the important work. After all, you must be 100% efficient at the important stuff. A text message just came in about the party tonight. Certainly, you can just answer it real quick. Ah, and the gift you have to wrap right now because you don't want your girlfriend to see it when she comes home. Man, I am so hungry, I better eat before tackling this really important task or I won't be able to concentrate! The low hanging fruit is more important, it seems, than the most important stuff because you will do it first. In most cases you only do the low hanging because you only have so much time every day. So, are you actually prioritizing according to importance or easyness? The above chart shows how tasks get harder as you get the easier ones out...

Why upload your mind?

How the fuck is that that people can legitimately complain about their long plane trips and various layovers? When you are traveling, you are just sitting. You are not doing anything that is tiring, the whole point of a flight is that you should remain seated in one spot for hours! And the layovers! They do demand an extraordinary cognitive effort! I mean you have to get through gates and navigate among air conned corridors and read various info panels. And most of all, you have to fuckin walk! I mean some part of the way. Admit, that you rode the moving walkway! First time you saw it, you were like, naaah, I can walk! Jesus, they want us to stop walking, next thing they are gonna charge us for breathing air! But then, second or third time around you convinced yourselves: OK, I can take the moving walkway, I better not be late for my flight! Next time around it was obvious that you just want to shave off your airport transit time, so of course you took it. And there you are, sta...
