Light bulbs and psychiatrists
How many psychiatrists does it take to change a light bulb?Only one, but it takes a really long time and the light bulb has to want to change.

Chrome OS
Russell Holly at Geek.com (http://www.geek.com/users/rholly/) writes a small but good article on Chrome os and CR-48 from Google.
“[...] I’m going to take a stab in the dark and say that off the top of your head, you know of at lease five people who only use their web browser, or applications that require the web, 100% of the time. They don’t code, they don’t edit video, and they probably don’t even use their CD/DVD drive. We are web creatures, and Google has noticed. They noticed that users have more productive time if they didn’t have to worry about things like antivirus updates, drivers, and waiting for their programs to install yet another update. Chrome accomplished this in browser form. It’s always up-to-date, you never have to maintain it, and it comes with the stuff you actually use on the internet like Flash, Silverlight, and a PDF viewer already installed. It doesn’t need you to take care of it. Chrome OS pushes this same functionality into the whole computer. It’s an environment where maintenance is a foreign concept, rather than the first thing you do when you sit down to your computer.

Productivity tips
The guys at Project Management Knowledge give us some good hints on increasing productivity (full article at http://project-management-knowledge.com/top-7-project-management-productivity-tips).
Their hints in bold, the other my comments:
- Prioritize and Take Action: never postpone until you’re forced to do, because things unresolved cumulate. This does not mean to everything in one shot, but is to act when needed and in the priority you decide.
- Revisit Goal Setting Daily: Things change and so do your goals. No route is straight; at least it needs some corrections on the path.
- Get Your R & R: means rest and recreation (and that is really true, because if you’re working hard you need it to perform at best), but also means for me reality and reality (to mean that aiming at difficult objectives is challenging, aiming at impossible ones is frustrating. So always maintain your feet as much on the ground as you can.
- R & R Revisited: this is *rewards and recognition* and is valid also if you think of yourself only.
- Do what you hate: but not for too much time, otherwise (also if you’re over payed to do this task you hate) the little breach becomes bigger and bigger and you cannot deal with it anymore.
- Reinforce your boundaries: as you may know saying no it’s an art difficult to teach and even more difficult to learn. The easiest thing is to find a good balance between doing things only for you and being a subsidiary for others work.
- Stop juggling: Elephant is eaten one spoon at a time….
