Rands In Repose uses a "Taste of the Day" for his Daily Review process. Today’s record for consecutive uninterrupted seconds is 47... (Being a manager is) a gig where you need to keep track of everything, constantly re-prioritize, but remain strategically limber. And to do all of this, you need a task tracking system that allows you to strategically forget... By taking a deep breath and considering your entire day, I’m attempting to ditch all the bright’n'shininess and gather perspective: “What is going to matter today?” (Most Important Task) With this rough priority scale in mind, I do a complete scrub of the To-Do List... My task list has no hierarchical organization. I’ve used systems before that allow me to lump tasks by projects or by theme and, inevitably, I end up maintaining the structure rather than getting shit done... No Priorities... No Dates... The process for the Evening Scrub is slightly different. (more)
Jon Udell's piece on Tacit Knowledge and computer use made me think of wanting an Online Help System written as HyperText that a Desktop Search tool can index and integrate with other stuff. And that I want that search engine to be a WikiProxy, too. The clash of these cognitive styles -- knowing how to do things versus knowing how to find out how to do things -- is a source of friction between IT folk and our clientele. From our perspective, it's annoying to be asked constantly to write down detailed step-by-step procedures. If we don't rely on them, why should anyone else need to? (more)
The Dreyfus model of skill acquisition is a model of how learners acquire skills through formal instruction and practicing, used in the fields of education and operations research. Brothers Stuart Dreyfus and Hubert Dreyfus proposed the model in 1980 in an 18-page report on their research at the University of California, Berkeley, Operations Research Center for the United States Air Force Office of Scientific Research.[1] The model proposes that a student passes through five distinct stages and was originally determined as: novice, competence, proficiency, expertise, and mastery. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dreyfus_model_of_skill_acquisition

Apophenia (/æpoʊˈfiːniə/) is the tendency to perceive meaningful connections between unrelated things.[1] The term (German: Apophänie from the Greek verb ἀποφαίνειν (apophaínein)) was coined by psychiatrist Klaus Conrad in his 1958 publication on the beginning stages of schizophrenia.[2] He defined it as "unmotivated seeing of connections [accompanied by] a specific feeling of abnormal meaningfulness".[3][4] He described the early stages of delusional thought as self-referential over-interpretations of actual sensory perceptions, as opposed to hallucinations.[1][5] Apophenia has also come to describe a human propensity to unreasonably seek patterns in random information, such as can occur while gambling.[4] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apophenia cf Constellation, All Models Are Wrong, Intertwingularity (more)
