Ten plus Two Times Five

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've tried (40+20)*1 but I lose the sense of urgency that 10 minutes gives me. Any thoughts? I've found the same thing. It's fine for say cleaning or organizing but its another thing for when trying to work on a SQL db for a class. I think going to try half hour intervals. I can keep my attention on something that long with no problem. Its anytime longer! » POSTED IN:
