no music without silence

It's certainly not a profound insight, but I've decided recently that I need to meditate more. I often have the problem of option paralysis; too many things to do and so I don't concentrate on any of them well. My concentration gets spread out and I'm not very productive.

It helps to, every once in a while, to not do anything and sit somewhere quiet and let my brain slow down for 10 or 15 minutes. A couple of times a day seems to work nicely. It helps to prioritize things, both in doing stuff around the house and for work. I recommend it.

Speaking of work, some deadlines have just passed. I have a relatively light weekend, and then it should be relatively smooth sailing for five weeks. No conferences, or travel. I can get some real work done...and now that the beetle is on its wheels again, I can get used to drive it again.
