It is a combination of speed and a given direction provided by strategy. The rapid completion of small tasks might give you speed, but it is a well-defined direction that will give you efficiency, value, and impact. Who cares how quickly you are getting work done if it’s not the right work?"

    <dc:creator>keithpeter</dc:creator><description><![CDATA["When learning math and engineering as an adult, I began by using the same strategy I’d used to learn language. I’d look at an equation, to take a very simple example, Newton’s second law of f = ma. I practiced feeling what each of the letters meant—f for force was a push, m for mass was a kind of weighty resistance to my push, and a was the exhilarating feeling of acceleration. (The equivalent in Russian was learning to physically sound out the letters of the Cyrillic alphabet.) I memorized the equation so I could carry it around with me in my head and play with it. If m and a were big numbers, what did that do to f when I pushed it through the equation? If f was big and a was small, what did that do to m? How did the units match on each side? Playing with the equation was like conjugating a verb. I was beginning to intuit that the sparse outlines of the equation were like a metaphorical poem, with all sorts of beautiful symbolic representations embedded within it. Although I wouldn’t have put it that way at the time, the truth was that to learn math and science well, I had to slowly, day by day, build solid neural “chunked” subroutines—such as surrounding the simple equation f = ma—that I could easily call to mind from long term memory, much as I’d done with Russian."]]></description>

With so many in her own party not backing her she’s found herself in a hole so shortly after becoming PM."

£50 million does not buy that many school places, and very few if building costs for expansion of existing schools added in. Many supporters of the policy will be disappointed when the result is 10 extra places here, 20 there. Massive numbers will hate *their* children failing. This looks no-win to me.]]></description>

    <dc:creator>keithpeter</dc:creator><description><![CDATA["Therein lies the first and most obvious problem with grammar schools in principle and with this proposal in particular: what do you do with those not selected? The idea that all secondaries can select on merit is either grossly ill-thought through or a chimera: it is simply impossible to have all schools operating selective criteria without an override mechanism – and if there is such a mechanism then it’s not truly selective." -- David Herdson

I'm thinking that the Government is betting that a small number of new selective schools and a modest increase in existing grammar school places won't alter the ability distribution significantly in most areas. High political gains, low actual impact. Might be funny if they got that one wrong, but £50 million new funding won't go that far.]]></description>

    <dc:creator>keithpeter</dc:creator><description><![CDATA["I loosely followed the Snowflake method, devised by a novelist who also has a PhD in Theoretical Physics. In a nutshell, you describe the plot of your novel in a single sentence; then in a single paragraph; then in four paragraphs; then in four pages; then you make a list of every scene in the story; then you write. This fractal structure gives the Snowflake method its name."

Could be a lesson planning process as well perhaps? ]]></description>

We play Go to explore its universe and reach utmost understanding of the game(and a glimpse of ourselves). If we ever find(which eventually we shuold) the exact single pattern that is best for both players, and we solve the game, it becomes something different. Maybe it becomes something senseless, or something artful(I can explain the 'art' part if someone asks) but trying to be competitive is silly."

It can have positive effects (such as prompting you to put on a seat belt before driving), but far too often also has negative side effects, such as preoccupying our thoughts, paralyzing our actions, making us irrational, or fueling our anger. While it may once have been a fundamental part of our survival instinct, it now often kicks in at the wrong times and makes us do the wrong things."

How we believe others see us shapes who we are. We ride a wave of pride or get swallowed in a sea of embarrassment based on brief interactions that signal respect or disrespect. Individuals feel valued and powerful when respected. Civility lifts people. Incivility holds people down. It makes people feel small."]]></description>

    <title>Obsessed with the Now: Douglas Rushkoff and the threat of 'Present Shock' | The Verge</title>

    <dc:creator>keithpeter</dc:creator><description><![CDATA[>> "For Rushkoff, the way to deal with these problems is to differentiate "storage" and "flow" — an idea you might’ve heard of back in 2010 as "stock and flow" from Robin Sloan. Something like Twitter, Rushkoff echoes, is a flow of data, which can’t be dealt with comprehensively, only dipped into. A slower medium like email can work as storage, where each item can be given its appropriate amount of attention in time. "The digital can be stacked; the human gets to live in real time." It’s the difference between adhering to a television programming schedule and using a DVR to watch shows at a time convenient to you."

Thinking about organisational communication; we need a twitter *inside* the firewall for 'flow' things, like teaching opportunities or lesson ideas. These would scroll off the screen. You just step into the shower if you need an idea.]]></description>

    <dc:creator>keithpeter</dc:creator><description><![CDATA[“The part of the brain most affected by early stress is the prefrontal cortex, which is critical in self-regulatory activities of all kinds, both emotional and cognitive. As a result, children who grow up in stressful environments generally find it harder to concentrate, harder to sit still, harder to rebound from disappointments and harder to follow directions. And that has a direct effect on their performance in school. When you’re overwhelmed by uncontrollable impulses and distracted by negative feelings, it’s hard to learn the alphabet.”

I hate to think what the long term outcome of this short-term policy is going to be, but I don't believe any good will come of it."

This goes under the 'listening to faint signals' heading. Stross has noticed a 28% drop in his public lending rights payments in one year. His selling levels are increasing. His conclusion is that less people are using libraries, probably due to less availability of libraries.]]></description>

Good quote 

"The more capable and multipurpose our tools become, the more the burden of deciding what they do shifts on us. Physical constraints must be replaced by artificial ones, and the effectiveness of our tools becomes an extension of our own willpower and self-discipline."]]></description>

Caution from Weiten, quoted in an e-mail to the author...

"Perhaps I am overly cynical, but I suspect that empirical tests are nonexistent because the authors of self-help and time-management titles are not at all confident that the results would be favorable. Hence, they have no incentive to pursue such research because it is likely to undermine their sales and their ability to write their next book."]]></description>
