This : sudden surge of progress made these men feel good, like they were doing : something. So, they had to have a way in their simple minds to reaffirm : that feeling of getting something done. Thus, "GITRDONE!" was born. This : can be said before a task is completed to motivate them, or after a task : is completed to celebrate. It is also used profusely during the process : of completing a task for no apparent reason which is very obnoxious and : ambient. Often used with a drawn out "Woooooo!" yelling before or : after.

His headslap : moment came on an international flight, as he realizes the only other : place I could escape was in my sleep. He goes on to talk about the : difficulty of maintaining even a single day of Sabbath from electronic : communication and media... * The Advantages of closing a few doors...

He crushed his troops' cooking pots and burned their ships. : : He explained this was to focus them on moving forward — a motivational speech : that was not appreciated by many of the soldiers watching their retreat option : go up in flames. But General Xiang Yu would be vindicated, both on the : battlefield and in the annals of social science research. * Time and Attention by Merlin Mann Great [[http://www.43folders.com/2008/02/14/time-attention-talk][talk by Merlin]] Mann about "Time and attention". #+BEGIN_HTML: #+END_HTML:
