“A wealth of infor­mation creates a poverty of attention”. (Herbert Simon)

“Being busy is a form of laziness—lazy thinking and indiscriminate action”. (Tymothy Ferris, The 4-Hour Workweek)

“1. Doing something unimportant well does not make it impor­tant. 2. Requiring a lot of time does not make a task important.” (Tymothy Ferris, The 4-Hour Workweek)

“Being busy is most often used as a guise for avoiding the few criti­cally important but uncomfortable actions” (Timothy Ferris, The 4-Hour Workweek)

“The level of competition is fiercest for “realistic” goals, paradoxically making them the most time-and energy-consuming” (Timothy Ferriss).

Safe hours, not seconds.

The crux of personal development is the gap between what one plans to do and what he or she actually does.

Akousma (plural akousmata) is a Greek word Pythagoreans used for their maxims, it is translated as ‘things heard’ (the same root as in acoustic). It is also possible that akousmata were used as a sort of tokens/passwords. So I thought it would be a good name for microcontent I am introducing here — short phrases I heard somewhere or said myself — for example, in my twitter.

It’s always hard to explain an akousma or it takes a lot of words, but you can quickly grasp it, if there are your “passwords” inside. I mean some words which are keys to bigger patterns, just like a name of a resort we once visited easily arises an entire sea of memories.
