SHOTGUN UPDATE: #...WHAT IS THIS? 4 OR 5? I've been puttering around this week, more than is my wont. I've got several projects going on simultaneously that the schedule has actually helped on. No, the Shotgun is not something I'm constantly consulting now, but it IS nudging me from time-to-time, and that's even more than I expected at this date. Like I stated on the HPR episode on the topic, I'm only hoping for a SLIGHT increase in overall productivity. I'm not looking for miracles. Especially not at this late date. It might be better to only count the achievements, instead of the number of times I consult the thing, because there really isn't any direct correlation between the study and the application of it. The question, therefore, comes up as to how to keep the AIC ethos in the forefront of my days. That is, how to maintain either the motivation, or the mental presence to apply the Shotgun method. I'm usually short of both, so if I can improve either, it would be a general help. Signs? Sticky notes? A full night's sleep at least once every five or six days? Dunno. This needs some thought. But, the Shotgun IS working -- albeit slowly and haphazardly. That's better than other methods I've tried, so it's worth the effort to make improvements, maybe. Yes, I think it is.
