Sakura, a minimal CSS framework

oxal.org/projects/sakura

How exactly does sakura help you?
- Just drop it in, even on existing HTML content, to get a pretty-looking website (everything “just works”)
- Quick prototyping, especially when working on backend sites and can’t yet be bothered to fidget with CSS/HTML
- Building a quick (but pretty) site/blog for your best friend or aunt!
- No need to remember tons of different class names for every other CSS framework
- Works amazingly with markdown-generated HTML pages (eliminates the need for hacks like including .img img-responsive in <img></img> tags generated from markdown-parser
- Wonderful for people who aren’t really good or interested in design as sakura is nothing but a set of reasonable defaults

Seeking the Productive Life: Some Details of My Personal Infrastructure—Stephen Wolfram Writings

writings.stephenwolfram.com/2019/02/seeking-the-productive-life-some-details-of-my-personal-infrastructure

Some of Stephen Wolfram’s “productivity hacks” to make his days and projects more productive. Daily life, desk environment, outside the office, presentation setup, filesystem organization, Wolfram Notebook systems, databases, personal analytics.

At an intellectual level, the key to building this infrastructure is to structure, streamline and automate everything as much as possible—while recognizing both what’s realistic with current technology, and what fits with me personally.

a tiny camera that takes pictures every 30 seconds, so I can remember what I saw.

Выгорание - личный опыт и пошаговая инструкция по приведению себя в порядок за 24 часа

  • 17:00 - 20:00 - отпустить тормоза. Избегайте наркотиков, но в остальном дайте себе полный карт-бланш в том, что вы себе обычно не позволяете.

  • 20:00 - 22:00 - прислушайтесь к своим чувствам. Включите музыку, побейте грушу, посидите в тишине. У каждого свой метод. На этом этапе важно дать волю эмоциям.

  • 22:00 - 7:00 - сон. Чем дольше, тем лучше. Но важно не валяться, если вы уже проснулись.

  • 07:00 - 10:00 - уборка. Чем больше вы выкинете или подарите кому-то, тем лучше. Делайте это с предельной жестокостью.

  • 10:00 - 13:00 - спорт, массаж, баня (безусловно можно сочетать). Помните о том, что здесь важно почувствовать тело. Вернуться в реальность через ощущения и движения.

  • 13:00 - 14:30 - десять дел. Важно не делать больше, не делать сложного, но использовать этот метод для разгона внутреннего генератора и перевода его в созидательное русло.

  • 14:30 - 17:00 - потоковое творчество. От футбола до рисования. Это очень индивидуально. Принципиально важно на этом этапе создать что-то свое, вернуть вкус творчества и игры.

Personal Goals Have to Happen Now

www.raptitude.com/2023/11/personal-goals-have-to-happen-now

Personal goals are generally expected to happen later.
The reason it’s hard to get going on personal goals is that you’re already using all of your time. No matter who you are, you’re already using all 24 hours, every day, for something. Because this will always be true, goals that happen at all must happen now, while you still don’t yet have time.
Basically, you learn to work in small, uniform parcels of time. They’re short, timer-bound, and unwaveringly focused on a particular outcome. Most importantly, they can fit into real life, as it already is.

When You Go Straight Towards Your Kryptonite

www.raptitude.com/2024/01/when-you-go-straight-towards-your-kryptonite

When perpetual avoidance is allowed, this familiarity never develops, and the kryptonite effect entrenches itself. The activity in question, however innocuous to everyone else, seems to wither your power and confidence whenever you get too close. Only by getting close despite the effect, and experiencing what dancing, algebra, or working with puff pastry is all about — rather than simply reacting to your old, scorned-outsider’s thoughts about it — can you neutralize the effect.
