Diary 2025-04-21
I was taking Saturday off for the possibility of being tired from Social Hack Day #70, but I'm glad I took the day off because I was tired from pBT on Sunday! I used to be very deadline-driven, but it's been a long time since I've done it, and the stress from the minute-by-minute deadlines has become a big factor. Metaphor for [short distance running
The amount of adrenaline and excitement caused by stress and cortisol? Something due to the production of? relationship between the two?
The reason why the short-distance running metaphor fits so well is that it is designed to run through the race with "instantaneous adrenaline. However, if we do not create a system that allows the autonomic nervous system to "slow down" immediately after cutting the finish tape, cortisol tails off and "burnout" is likely to linger. It is a natural change to feel that you are not as resistant to sprinting as you used to be, so you can make the deadline driven technique "usable" again by being conscious of "keeping the peak low and the recovery generous".
be of use as a reference
It's harder to push for peak performance when you're on deadline.
It will take longer to recover from damage after deadline driven
This is the same composition as an "all-nighter" or an "advance on an energy drink.
deadline-driven
It's useful to have a decision run that says there are a lot of areas I want to discuss, but I don't have time to discuss them, so I'm going to cut them off.
If we had a "deliberative forum" with no deadlines and asked, "How can we make X better?" then the list of "good ideas I have" would just keep on adding and adding and adding, and the list would just keep on growing and growing and growing and growing and growing and growing and growing and growing and growing and growing and growing and growing and growing and growing and growing.
AI's drafts were being scraped by humans, but the same is true for a group of humans.
When a group of humans deliberate without constraint, they get more and more bloated.
Context grows longer.
AI sums it up as "ruthlessly discarding human writing."
I didn't realize the value of ChatGPT's "Complete History" when it was introduced, but combined with o3, this is what I'm getting. The input is just the first part, but I'm talking about it based on my use of Scrapbox and the fact that I mentioned in a previous chat that deadline-driven was getting hard. Organize tabs that have been opened too many times
Switching Weekly Journal
Identification of tasks that have not been taken up
The same tab open in multiple places should be closed all together.
I'm opening this page for notes first.
While cleaning up the tabs, if I find a tab that needs AI processing, I query it and move it over here.
o3 competent.
It's pronounced "old man competent, huh?" in my brain.
I'm tired and covered in snacks.
I'm taking it easy after dinner.
Still to make week5 into a website.
Organize private repo
