If you look closely you'll see the monitor images have been arranged so you see what you would see if you could look through them. Cool.

Wisdom is never too early (or late) to apply

Some things that we wish we were taught or learned. Read the comments as well as there are some good points there too.

Question: Is it wisdom if you understand it but don't apply it?
Maybe all the difference is knowing these types of items on a level where you know and believe in them enough to apply them in day to day living.
It doesn't take a genius but it does take a a committed and persistent person.

Also check out Randy's web site randypausch.com and his presentation on time management.

I am thinking of collecting other views of computer workspaces that people have since it interesting to me the environments people create to be productive and relaxed.

Al Gores desk is another workspace that is interesting from both the multi-monitor and paperwork perspective.

The costs of working in a digital world.

Lost and Found

Professor Solomon has some guidelines on how to find lost items. Now you can apply the 12 principles or even download the whole book.
Best to use a systematic approach rather than panicing and rummaging randomly through the house.
