This article makes me very happy:

It is about a college football coach who appears to have, for lack of a better word, hacked the game.

I don't like football all that much. I don't really watch sports at all, but this stuff makes me grin ear to ear. I am in love with the idea that the world is full of things that hide beneath their surfaces new and exciting solutions that are totally unlike the accepted plan. I love cleverness and ingenuity and I love that there's still so much left to figure out.

(I found this on the Freakonomics Blog by the way)

"I have checked off many To Dos... but I just do not feel like i've accomplished a lot...".

This often happens to me (and you?), so I looked into the problem in depth. Then I realized that a To Do "list" does not represent the importance of each item. Yes, you can "A, B, C" the list, but your brain just does not catch how important each item is. In my opinion, it's justcounter-intuitive.

So a few weeks ago, I began "drawing" my To Do list. Each bubble represents a To Do and the bigger the bubble the more troublesome it is to your mind. I named this map the "bubble map".

This is kind of cool.
