I was reading <a href="https://slatestarcodex.com/2019/07/04/style-guide-not-sounding-like-an-evil-robot/">a little style guide on Slate Star Codex</a>. Now truth be told, I generally find this kind of &ldquo;don&rsquo;t say this, say that instead&rdquo; style guide somewhat patronizing and quite irritating (more of a testament to my own rebellious spirit than any indictment of any author) and unhelpfully unnuanced (a more practical complaint), and my first instinct was to want to argue this lack of nuance. On the other hand, Scott is a very skilled communicator and an examplar in how being an enormous dork need not be a barrier to popularity, and there is a more helpful general principle hidden in these rules.

Having arrived at a nice concise principle of communication, let&rsquo;s take a step back and generalize a bit, because I think this idea of the brain as constantly predicting sensory input and responding to surprises is useful and interesting. Specifically, while writing this it called up something I have read about schizophrenia. In a nutshell, schizophrenics commonly experience something what is called &ldquo;delusions of reference&rdquo;, in which they interpret innocuous things (e.g. newspaper headlines, things said on radio) as having special meaning to them. In some theories of brain function, there is an explanation for this that goes as follows: the brain is constantly predicting upcoming stimuli. In people with schizophrenia, this sometimes goes awry in a way that makes the brain flag something innocuous as deeply surprising. To the schizophrenic person, this feels as though the stimulus in question is somehow deeply meaningful to them personally, presumably in the same way that choosing an unusual &ldquo;pokey&rdquo; word instead of a more common synonym feels deliberate and meaningful.

Sacramento, California, 2355. Jesus Salvador Rodriguez was a teacher and healer. Working two jobs was hard work, but he liked the extra income, hoping the size of his palestial two-bedroom apartment would help attract a mate. Long ago, before the Singularity, there had been many jobs; now it was down to just two. There were healers, who worked in healthcare administration, and teachers, who worked in college administration. Rumors had it that somewhere out there the Digital Nomads yet roamed, traversing the galaxy in a bid to get ever further away from California. Scientific concensus dismissed these rumors as a hoax, holding that the universe held nil but Earth and Paperclip. Sacramento, California, 2355. Jesus Salvador Rodriguez was a teacher and healer.

It was Thursday afternoon, and Jesus was at work. When not? Long ago, there had been the matter between <i>Working From Home</i> and <i>Living In The Office</i>, and the office had won. Everyone was, of course, well aware of the irony of living at the office for the sole purpose of renting an apartment, this being the subject of a centuries-old comedic tradition. A tale as old as time; so as the peacock shows its fitness by painting a target of auspicious technicolor plumes on its own back, so must humans do retarded shit to get laid.

I&rsquo;d been eyeing the <a href="https:frame.work">Framework laptop</a> since somewhere in October 2021, but the EU release got delayed and they were very hesitant to give time estimates. I only managed to get my hands on it in late February, and I ended up having to have it delivered to France. I understand the difficulty of setting up logistics especially these days, but I broke my previous laptop and being stuck in limbo like this was not fun.

This required setting up a swap file and setting a kernel command line parameter to refer to it, but it was easy to do. It works well. I&rsquo;ve observed the laptop auto-hibernating when the battery runs out, but it doesn&rsquo;t do this reliably, so I should probably configure it myself.

Using some <code>fish</code> scripts, <code>bspwm</code>, <code>picom</code> and <code>xst</code> I rigged up a transient, transparent terminal to use for quick shell jobs.

Framework seems to advertise their keyboard as having particularly deep travel, but it mostly just feels like any chiclet keyboard to me. Not a bad chiclet keyboard, but not that great, either. The layout is fine, but it makes me miss the thinkpad. Framework seems to advertise their keyboard as having particularly deep travel, but it mostly just feels like any chiclet keyboard to me.

I&rsquo;ve never had a decent touchpad before, so I was pleasantly surprised. I expected to miss the trackpoint on the thinkpad a lot, but this is fine, though it&rsquo;s still a step down. Pinch to zoom doesn&rsquo;t work very well, but I don&rsquo;t use that functionality a lot. I miss having dedicated mouse buttons; the clicking functionality on this touchpad works fine for me, but it&rsquo;s hard not to mess up left/middle/right click. That&rsquo;s a good incentive for me to practice relying on the mouse less, though. There&rsquo;s plenty of <a href="https://linuxtouchpad.org/">work being done</a> on the Linux touchpad experience software-side, too. It&rsquo;s a nice time to be a linux laptop user!

I seem to get about 6.5 hours of real-world use time when using Emacs and doing light web browsing. I don&rsquo;t have a good benchmark for more intensive tasks, but compiling does hit the battery pretty hard. All in all I&rsquo;m very happy with it, getting decent battery life on Linux is hard.

The little expansion cards are one of Framework&rsquo;s big marketing things. I think they&rsquo;re pretty neat, though I don&rsquo;t always quite understand the way people talk about them, as &ldquo;dongle killers&rdquo;. I would find hotswapping these about equally obnoxious as carrying dongles. The idea of aftermarket expansion cards is interesting, though - these are low level, high bandwidth ports, with I think similar capabilities to the ExpressCard ports on old business laptops, but more modern with a USB-C port. I&rsquo;m looking forward to the USB4 era! The little expansion cards are one of Framework&rsquo;s big marketing things.

#+TITLE: The 567 Personal Productivity System
#+DATE: <2024-08-23 Fri 11:50>
* The 567 Personal Productivity System
The /567/ productivity system is a method I came up with for getting more stuff done in daily life. It works as follows:
** The System
Every day, there are seven time slots:
- One 2-hour slot;
- Two 1-hour slots;
- Four ½-hour slots.
This sums up to a total of six hours. The rules of the game are then as follows:
- At the start of every day, you must assign an activity to each slot, filling all of them;
- Throughout that day, for every slot, you must engage in your chosen activity for /at least/ that much time;
- You may choose to do slots over the day as you wish. You may not change which activities are assigned to which slots after planning them, however.
Additionally, you must commit to the following restrictions on what activities you plan for your day:
- At the start of every month, you must choose a /monthly theme/; every day for that month, you must dedicate one slot to fit the monthly theme;
- Likewise, at the start of every week, you must choose a /weekly theme/;
- Additionally, at the start of every week, you must choose three /habits/, three specific activities, and assign all three of them a slot every day of that week.
Thus, added together, this gives you 5 /commitments/, 6 /hours/, 7 /slots/ per day, forming the /567 system/.
** The Weekend
On the weekend, slightly different rules apply. On Saturday, the 2 hour time slot should always be reserved for "leisure" (e.g. watching a movie, going to the pool, that kind of thing). Additionally, on Saturdays, drop the monthly theme and one of the 1-hour timeslots, forming what I suppose may be called a /456/ system. Feel free to drop another slot and/or another commitment too if you wish.
On Sunday, there are no commitments; spend your entire Sunday at your own discretion (a /000/ system?).
** Modifications for People With a Job
The system as described is intended to work for people who are self-employed or otherwise work in the kind of self-directed manner that allows this. It is not intended, and indeed too heavy, to be crammed wholesale into whatever time you have left after coming home. It can't be easily imported into your job as a McDonald's fry cook, either.
For supplementing a day job, I would suggest dropping the 2-hour slot and one 1-hour slot, making a /535/ system. You might want to drop a /habit/ commitment too if you feel like you're running around too much (/435/, or /434/ system).
** Justification
The system is designed to balance /discretion/ with /commitment/, for the sake of ultimately building /trust/. Specifically, it is designed to satisfy the following constraints:
- Guarantee enough personal discretion and adaptability to deal with the normal everyday flow of obligations and productivity;
- Allow the user to commit to things and guarantee that progress will be made without needing to muster constant willpower;
- Prevent the user from trying to plan every second of their life and place impossible strain on themselves, or constantly have to answer the question of "how much planning is appropriate?";
- Centralize and minimize decisionmaking.
The system sets a bound for /enough/; at the end of the day, if you've filled and executed all the slots, you will know that you spent some six hours being productive; that you spent an appreciable amount of time on several different activities; that over the course of a week you will spend at least a couple hours on some thing of your choosing, and over the course of a month, at least a double-digit number of hours on something. If you follow the system for a day, that day is never wasted; even if you do nothing else but play video games afterwards, you will never outright stall.
At the same time, the system only covers a total of 6 hours out of a waking day of 16 hours or so. It can be quite gentle and adaptable when it needs to be. On the other hand, it's not meant to cover all your productivity; you're always free to spend more time on something than the time slot assigned to it.
** Example
Currently, today's use of the system looks like this for me:
- *Monthly Theme*: game development;
- *Weekly Theme*: increasing my online presence;
- *Habits*:
+ Exercise;
+ Meditate;
+ Read a book.
With my slots assigned like so:
- 2-Hours game development;
- 1-Hour: increasing online presence -- just about done fulfilling this slot right now by writing this blog;
- 1-Hour: meditation;
- ½-Hour x4: reading, exercise, studying math, visual art.
Most of the time, habits will tend to go into ½-hour slots (though they don't have to; meditation for me today doesn't) and tend to work better as more discrete activities. Habits are generally better left as more open-ended things that can fill arbitrary amounts of time.
** Q&A
*** What is the difference between the /weekly theme/ and /habits/?
Habits are specific activities; their description fills a slot verbatim. Themes are better thought of as broader "domains" to which specific activities can belong. The difference is mostly philosophical.
*** What do I do if the system becomes too burdensome?
Remember, you can assign your slots freely within the constraints. Nothing prevents you from setting easier goals; during difficult times, it's totally fine to put such things as "get out of bed and brush my teeth and stuff" as a habit, or "cook dinner". You can totally make "relax" a theme or assign it the 2-hour slot! Also, you are free to assign more burdensome task to ½-hour slots.
If you really can't manage that way, the system degrades gracefully if you get rid of some of the slots and obligations. Make this a deliberate decision; choose to plan fewer slots at the start of the day. Don't accept planning things and then failing to do them! On the other hand, do be very gentle on yourself when you can't manage on a given day.
*** Can I spread one activity over multiple slots?
I would strongly suggest not doing this; don't spend 3 hours straight on one activity, then tick off both a 2-hour and a 1-hour slot. On the other hand, I think it's fine to have one slot be in some sense a subset of another; for instance, I think it's fine to have a 2-hour "game development" slot, and then another 1-hour "work on user interface system" slot, as long as you treat them as distinct activities.
*** Can I fulfill multiple slots in parallel?
Generally, do not do this; in the above example of "game development" and "user interface" slots, don't just work on the user interface for 2 hours and then tick off both slots.
In some cases though this does make sense. For instance, I have a standing desk with a threadmill under it; it's very natural for me to spend half an hour walking on it while working on the computer, in which case I have no qualms ticking off an "exercise" slot while also working on another slot. Another example might be "call mom" at the same time as "cook dinner".
In general, slots should be distinct activities; occasionally, you really can multitask activities in a natural way, but usually you cannot.
*** Can I split slots? What if I get interrupted, or want to take breaks?
Slots are meant to be time slots for focussed work, not time quotas. Avoid splitting a 1-hour slot into two half-hour blocks. On the other hand, interruptions do happen, in which case use your own discretion; if you get interrupted 45 minutes into a 1-hour slot and you've already accomplished what you wanted to accomplish, it's fine to just tick it off. On the other hand, if you get interrupted 45 minutes into a 2-hour slot, you probably want to catch up later.
It's fine to take small breaks, I think, but try to spend 80% of your slot's time actually working on what you're supposed to.
*** Can themes and/or habits overlap?
I think it can sometimes make sense to have monthly and weekly themes overlap. I don't think it makes much sense for habits to overlap with either.
*** What if I finish before the slot is over?
Try to fill up the rest of the slot if you can, but if you have nothing productive to do it's fine. Still, try and conceptualize your activities such that they fill the slots.
*** What if I don't finish my activity within the slot?
Feel free to continue your activity! Slots are a minimum, not a target or a maximum.
*** What if I can't finish all slots in a day?
Start the next day fresh. Don't "roll over" or do anything to try and compensate.
