I'm getting more and more excited about this as I read what @fortelabs is writing.
@fortelabs Right now reading this article, which is sparking all sorts of interesting thoughts. It's about the power of moods: praxis.fortelabs.co/mood-as-extrap…
@fortelabs 3/ I've used strategies that were aligned with what he's talking about, but more on really abstract levels. (I guess this is a tweetstorm)
@fortelabs 4/ One abstract mood-enhancer: "Duration Calibration" spreddy. I time myself on subtasks (often <15min) Try it here: docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d…
@fortelabs 5/ Another: create names for your moods and try method-acting them. Inspired by @byudkowsky, here's mine: malcolmocean.com/2016/04/introd…
@fortelabs @byudkowsky 6/ What I'm digging about @fortelabs' approach is that he's building mood-consciousness into the work itself, so it's intrinsic.
@fortelabs @byudkowsky Moods article ↑ talks about doing it with note-taking Seems this tweet ↓ is about doing it with arbitrary projects
@fortelabs @byudkowsky article: "what other mood accelerators have you discovered in your own work?" Super simple: just sitting still until I feel excited to work
@fortelabs @byudkowsky b/c whatever I feel excited to work on is usually a thing I have lots of latent energy for. This ~= looking for fault lines for self-quakes!
