J’ai oublié où j’ai piqué ça. Je glisse souvent des extraits de textes des sites que je visite pour les lire quand je serai dans le mood adéquat, et souvent je ne sais plus d’où ça vient. Celui là doit venir de Unclutter ou de LifestepHack, ou de je-ne-sais-où
Make your bed each morning.
Throw away the newspaper each night, even if you haven’t read it yet.
Follow the “one-minute rule” – push yourself to do any chore that takes less than one minute. Throw away the junk mail, close the cabinet door, put your dirty socks in the hamper, hang up your wet towel.
Identify an organization or person to whom you can give things you no longer need – it’s much easier to get rid of unneeded stuff if you can envision someone else getting good use from them. Also, figure out a place to store those things until you hand them over. We have a special shelf for books that we’re taking to the Housing Works thrift store. When the shelf is full, we drop off the books.
Pause for a moment before you “store” something. Storing something means you don’t intend to use it much. Other than holiday decorations and seasonal clothes, you should strive to “store” as little as possible.
Beware of freebies. Never accept anything free, unless you’re thrilled with it. A mug, a tote bag, a hand-me-down toy, the lamp from your mother-in-law—if you don’t need it, don’t take it.
Get rid of things if they break. When I went through our apartment, I was astonished by how many things I’d kept even though they didn’t work.
Don’t keep any piece of paper unless you know that you actually need it. I have a friend who, for years, carefully filed away the stubs when she paid her gas bill. “Why?” I asked, mystified. “I have no idea,” she said. Along the same lines, don’t keep anything that would quickly become dated—like travel information. Remember the internet! If you can easily find information online, you don’t need to keep a hard copy.
Hang up your coat.
Before you go to bed, take five minutes to do an “evening tidy-up.” Don’t tackle anything ambitious, but just stack up the magazines, put your shoes away, shove the chairs into place, etc. Just a few minutes of tidying can make your house look a lot better, and it’s a calming thing to do before going to sleep. Plus it makes the morning nicer.
World is moving too fast. What do I mean by “too fast”. What is the speed where it get too fast ? 60mph ? 200 mph ?
World is moving too fast when a single human can’t influence on it anymore. World is made from humans. If the basic composing piece can’t change anything anymore, what’s the point ?
Of course, moving faster means more evolutions, better choice, more experiments. At least, if we are going to crash in a wall (pollution, nuclear war…) we won’t have to wait too long (thx Mr. Bush).
Is it really a bad thing we are going so fast one can’t match anymore ? Gutenberg bring the print, litterature spread worlwide… Was it a bad thing. From the POV of churchs, yes. People’s POV: one of the best thing. But that revolution served the world.
When on a ambulance, going fast can save a life, going too fast can kills many. That’s the point. We’re going too fast, like a teenager discovering the shift stick and sticking to the 5th, going wild on road.
How did I came to this opinion ? I had many projects thoses last months. All of them get down, at nearly launch state, because big organizations or companies overtaken me. They had the financial, PR, human power I didn’t. My projects were simple, well packed and they were blowed away by bigger.
Yeah, I’m certainly complaining on nothing as it has never been so easy as now for a single person (or a few people) to launch big ideas. Look at Google or … hum, only Google comes to my mind BUT it’s also never been so easy to be overtaken! So unfair.
I’m only 24, I shouldn’t be scared by all this. So, what’s wrong with me ?
Boire une Guinness dans un verre Hinano alors qu’il fait 27° dehors (on est quand même 23:00 …), bosser sur son nouvel écran avec pleins de pouces … Tahitian Work Style
Il est 05:36. La nuit commence à se retirer. Doucement mais sûrement, le jour va se réveiller, Rê aura une fois de plus triompher d’Apophis. De mon côté, les dernières brides de procrastination semblent accepter leur inéluctable défaite: c’est pendant les vacances que je travaille le mieux/plus
Triste ironie mais plus il y a d’épines, plus jolie est la rose, n’est-ce pas ?
J’ai le “choix”: soit j’avais raison et je reste bloqué, soit j’avais tort et ma thèse gagne 3 mois en une semaine ….
Ceux qui me connaissent soutiendront (à tort?) que j’adore avoir raison. Ceux qui ne me connaissent pas soutiendront (à raison?) que je déteste avoir tort. Mais voilà, je ne suis plus trop dans le lyrisme (euphémisme) mais plutôt dans le pratique.
Alors, cher thésard pakistanais, m’as-tu fait espérer dans le vide ? N’ai-je donc aucune faille ? Fais-je devoir continuer à scanner les méandres de bits que constitue les 120 000 lignes de codes de ce cher JM fernandisé où est-ce vraiment Apple qui a ignorer la définition de librairies ANSI ?
J’avais envisagé le switch sous linux mais VMWare n’est pas aussi génial que ça et j’ai un peu peur (oui, cela m’arrive) de reformater mon DD pour installer refit et avoir un dualboot.
Une fois de plus, après facebook, la nintendo ds, secondlife et une foultitude de choses (dont un nombre assez spectaculaire de bands) sorties depuis des lustres et que je découvre à peine, me voici pris de passion pour Dr House.
Les plus has-been que moi devront chercher par eux-même, je ne ferai pas l’affront aux gens normaux de passer ici un épisode (surtout que ça risque de donner à TF1 l’idée de zapper l’option vaseline) donc voici Hugh Laurie, le génial Dr House qui nous donne la solution pour sauver le monde

Mon rêve le plus cher: la paix dans le monde ... ou bosser chez Apple, j'arrive pas encore à me décider ;)
