  • To still feel productive and get that high from getting stuff done. I honestly spend hours and hours formatting my reports/papers. I think, I got a few compliments in the past (just the average kind people say when it’s clear someone put effort into something) and that solidified my procrastination.

    It’s usually at least a 2:1 ratio of formatting to actually writing/researching content…

    I need help…

    For folks that don’t know, Venter had a company, Celera, they competed with the Human Genome Project (HGP) run by the US Gov’t. They developed interesting techniques to sequence, I believe they are credited with shotgun sequencing.

    How were they able to compete?? The HGP published all their work openly, Venter and co used the freely accessible data alongside their own proprietary methods to try and sequence the human genome first themselves.

    If I recall correctly it was considered a tie and they both jointly published the first sequenced human genome in Science.



  • If you go to a library and study, you have some desk space in front of you, would you spread out your stuff (e.g. notes, textbook, laptop, supplementary books) to try and get it all out?

    Likewise, does your work desk (say at home) have a bunch of stuff on it that you don’t use moment-to-moment, but you keep them in close proximity because in the event that you do need them, the effort (or energy) expenditure of having it contribute to clutter is less than the amount it would take to get it or find it in the event you needed it?
