Michel and Karl
In a ridiculous regression, have taped photos of Michel Foucault and Karl Marx to my monitor to inspire me. They worked hard, why can’t I? Something along those lines. Foucault’s piercing eyes (there seems to be only about four public domain photos of him, and he looks like a ghoul in all of them) will hunt me down as I procrastinate and surf.
My new 60 days to completion plan is in effect, and I must say that it is thus far keeping me honest. I can only flip the page to count down a day when I actually do a day of work. So 60 days could take 200 if I don’t get my ass in gear. But at least I’ll know how much progress I am really making.
Am turning myself into commando mode where I tell myself that nothing in the world matters but hard work. All else is chimera. Leisure and fun are for rubes! Michel and Karl soothingly approve.
To accomplish above transition, have purchased giant post-it notes that can accommodate an entire paragraph of scribbling and they are awesome. Only wish post-it wouldn’t persist in producing such terrible hues. Maybe can order custom colours online? Something to check out later. “Unimportant” says Foucault. Agree.
