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

Other use for MiniteurSubmitted by TommyW on January 15, 2006 - 11:51am.
I find Miniteur a great way of aiding focus during the day. One thing I do in addition to the (10+2)*5 and variants above is to click on the stopwatch when I leave my desk for a meeting or lunch or whatever. It's interesting to come back and see exactly how long I was gone. » POSTED IN:
