I’ve always been a complete jerk about audio speakers. Hand me control of one and watch me turn from a normal person into a musical show-off within seconds. “Listen to this obscure 80s metal band!” I’d yell while my poor date winced. “They combined speed metal with classical influences!” My date nodded politely while plotting… Sigue leyendo "La prueba de la música
I hate open offices. Every day I cram noise-canceling headphones over my ears and toggle off notifications, desperate for focus among my eight coworkers.

There’s a standard rule in productivity circles: “Organize your tasks by project.” You hear it everywhere. It’s repeated in books, blogs, and productivity courses. The idea seems logical – group related tasks together so you can work on them efficiently. There’s just one problem with this approach: It completely ignores the fundamental constraint of human… Sigue leyendo "The Time Sector Method
