An Alternative To The Pomodoro Technique
”With this method, it is possible to achieve as many as 2 to 3 tasks in a single day, so long as you live alone and nobody else tries to contact you.
If at any point during the Puttanesca Method (so-called because there are more olives in it than in the Pomodoro) someone tries to contact you – whether by text, by phone call, by email, by saying your name quietly in the next room, whatever — cease all work at once and go directly back to bed.

And then I pulled the keyboard off and just starred at that giant piece of glass.
My goodness - the screen is enormous!!!

The price mentioned on the day was a couple of hundred bucks - but it looks like there is a version at $100 - will I be disappointed?
An excellent reminder … and it takes a comedian to point it out.
He doesn’t know when he was born?
