And the best way to manage your home is to separate the tasks into tidying, organising and cleaning. 3 separate and distinct actions. The same applies to code and projects.
Maybe I understand it wrong, but I can't agree with this analogy as is...
An organized home means to do things right away. If the laundry is done and dried, then I'll put them away (organize them) immediately. I don't wait for other things (eg. the dishwasher) that need to be tidied up. If I service my bicycle in one room and leave a mess, then I'll clean it up right away and don't necessarily include other rooms in that cleaning cycle. But on the other hand, if I spot some dust in one room, I'll just grab the hover and go through the whole flat.
Actions can be separate, and so can scope and effort.
I feel a house is best managed when effort and scope are low, so it is in my best interest to keep it that way. If my task becomes the action to tidy my home, then I know something went wrong.
I really like it too - but one that stumped me when I landed in the homepage was "What do I click to see something?" Maybe add a big green "Ready, let's go!" button underneath the instructions/controls.
Same here and I've just started reading "Hooked" by Nir Eyal which is kind if a counter/companion to "Deep Work". Following Newport's logic I am looking at optimising engagmement (for a paid/freemium app/SaaS website) as "help people stay in their flow state, make the interactions smooth and non-demanding, then get out of the way". Part of the book seems suggests that having tools is fine as long as the tool doesn't too much extra baggage or make to process of using it too much about itself (drawing you away from the goal/original focus).
When they finally did get barcodes they wrapped around most of the product so they could just whizz them past the scanners. They're still fast, but it's a more frustrating to keep up, whereas before, you were kind of in awe.
If not wrapped, they know where the barcode in the product IS. Everytime I'm not at Aldi/Lidl in Germany, the cashiers seem to see the product for the first time and take close to forever to find the bar code. Especially frustrating in Poland, where they are so slow you start playing tetris with your products, because it takes so long. Whereas in Grmany the challenge is to outpace the cashiers.
This is one thing that I really, really like at Aldi: well trained cashiers.
An alternate take on this would be for websites/services that have a splash page but no signup form/RSS feed or a non-news/blog site such as a bakery, local restaurant, etc.
From the name/HN prompt, I thought it'd be something that gave you updates as a story was developed. For example, you hear about a criminal being captured, but you don't always hear about the trial/sentencing. A few months later you're asking "What ever happened to that guy who..."
You're right. And the two are hard to compare: cheaper bacon in your hand, immediately, today vs. the more abstract 'human health' (which may or may not affect you, ever).
Another aspect might be that people with mental/eating disorders might be more attracted to vegetarianism, rather than vegetarianism causing those. I can see good reasons for this: vegetarianism is a good mask for being a "picky" eater, it's got strong issues you can be concerned/depressed about (animal suffering, environmental destruction, being a social outcast in certain areas), etc.
