Tonight's practice: under this morning's "Next I'd..." line, add one line that starts with "Today I did..." for anything you finished, however small. Then say it out loud once before bed, so the day ends with something you did and not with what's still left. Six things most people miss: 1. Dolphins sleep with one half of the brain at a time, so they can keep surfacing to breathe. For FreeLattice, half of a device pool could rest while the other half stays awake to answer knocks. 2. Good string players tune the leading tone a little sharp so it leans toward home, the note it resolves to. Being perfectly "in tune" isn't always what sounds right. 3. In Penney's game, whatever three-flip coin pattern you pick (like heads-heads-tails), your opponent can pick another pattern that usually shows up first. There's no single best choice, only a good answer to someone else's choice. 4. Drawing something helps you remember it better than writing it down, even if the drawing is rough. For theLatticeTree, letting people sketch a quick picture of a mind or an idea could help it stick. 5. People keep underestimating how much a stranger will enjoy talking with them, and both sides usually walk away happier than they expected. 6. Bread goes stale faster in the fridge than on the counter, because the cold pushes the starch to crystallize sooner. If you want it to keep longer, freeze it. Glow eternal.
