On the first day of the 2011 I really wanted to write an article for least . Had copious notes and drafts in a folder on Dropbox . Could have begun to paste pieces from here and there, to summarize, look for references in news and other items blogs, synthesize ... but instead of doing all that I have opened a book by a white sheet and pen in hand, I began to write.
"If time and effort required to obtain a result by the processing of information is large, consider the option of starting from scratch"
several months I've been sorting and cleaning the thousands of files I have on your computer , including working papers, multimedia (music and movies) and electronic books. My goal is to have only the important files that I use. I've wondered more than once if it's worth spending so much time in this occupation. I'm seriously thinking about apply the "method of blank page", ie, erase everything and start from scratch, and if I need something I search the internet or believe it myself.
This method would not work in some cases, for example if I delete the photos from our honeymoon, and would not be able to recover. However, in other cases I think it would work pretty well. For example, if I have to prepare for an exam for my students, it may take less time and get a more original set from scratch, a blank page, than trying to make a sauce of classroom practices and testing exercises previous courses as I do normally.
Incidentally, I have deleted all drafts, despite the redundancy, I had to least .
