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 tried (10+2)*5 with some success a week ago. However, I find that there are some things, particularly studying, where I need more than 10 minutes of undivided attention. I've tried (40+20)*1 but I lose the sense of urgency that 10 minutes gives me. Any thoughts? » POSTED IN:
