Ten plus Two Times Five
hernick | Nov 3 2005
Today, I read Procrastination hack: ?(10+2)*5?. I liked the concept! But syncing myself to a alarm? Urgh. Painful stuff. I hate buzzers. So I invoked the power of Open Source: I fired up Hydrogen, a drum machine. I laid down 12 minutes of beats; the beats synchronise you to the hack. I call it Ten Plus Two - Version One. Download it. Play it in a loop. The beat track itself is a hack. And if you people like it, I'll make a better one. Hell, I'll make a better one anyway. Why? It works for me! Discuss. 19 Comments

I like it. I was doing something similar for housework sprints long before I ran across (10+2)*5, or for that matter the concept of sprinting -- I have a particular playlist that breaks down into a pattern that's more or less work for these three tunes, break for the next one. Especially for get-off-my-ass work, music works much better than setting a periodic alarm. However, making my own would be way beyond me! » POSTED IN:
