My terminal is acting weird. It was blank. So I thought a restart could make it work again. And since I wanted to restart, I might as well update my Mac so I could have the all-new iTunes 10.
So I updated. There was no time indicator on the Software Update window, just the blue bar. And the blue bar was moving ever so quickly, I really thought it was going to finish soon. So I quit my browser, my e-mail, everything. Getting ready to restart.
From what I could see, it was only 1 or 2 percent left. And it has been stuck like that since the past one hour.
Lesson 1: Don’t procrastinate.
Lesson 2: Mac is beautifully designed to deceive. At least Windows tells you if you need 84 days to complete that file transfer.
In Windows 7, you wouldn’t need Divvy (a brilliant window manager for Mac, costs $14) at all. You can just do a Win+Left/Right to rearrange windows. Less choices compared to Divvy, but instant. And it is built-in with the OS too.
Having said that, both platform are amazing. You just spent more on Mac, and feel exclusive.
Irony is when a person who bashes Windows and preach about the openness, customization, and low-cost system of GNU/Linux; is the very same person who masturbate to their closed, tightly controlled, and high-cost Mac.
My depression blog has been doing good in Tumblr. It helps me clarify what am I feeling, having it written down in words. And it is more organized than a physical journal, despite being less personal (which is necessary).
It is just not the blog itself, it’s the very act of trying every possible method that I can find to combat depression. After all, I genuinely wanted to be happy.
Then, suddenly there is a ding in my head. What if I could do write about procrastination? Procrastination is as fatal as diabetes and cancer, thus should not be taken lightly! After all, I genuinely wanted to be productive.
There are so many books and blogs saying about different things. So where should I start, and who should I follow? The answer is – no one.
Different people work on different set of values. A person who value freedom might not like to be bound by to-do-list, thus the GTD method might not work for him. That would suit more to a goal-oriented person, who find peace in being aligned and planned out.
So I got to start with knowing myself first. Identify what has been working for me, and what obstacle have come along the way. Then continue reading and taking advices from experienced gurus, applying it to my own system.
This is a journey, and I am excited! (Lame sentence to end the entry =_=)
