How to get 'momentum'

jorisvdb | Dec 18 2006

On some days, I don't have the momentum to study, on these days it's
very hard for me to put myself behind my books & start learning. & when
I am behind my books, I learn very inefficient & slow.
Does sb has any idea's / tips to become more productive when you really
don't feel like? Tomorrow I'm going to try to wakup early & run a bit
before study'ing to try if that works :)

Thanks,
Joris

Cranking

Merlin used to crank. He’s not cranking any more.

This is an essay about family, priorities, and Shakey’s Pizza, and it’s probably the best thing he’s written. »

Scared Shitless

Merlin’s scared. You’re scared. Everybody is scared.

This is the video of Merlin’s keynote at Webstock 2011. The one where he cried. You should watch it. »
