Putting notes on calendar instead of on list is working great, so great that I vexed Catarina insisting that she do it as well.

Today I started disusing lists, and writing down items in a calendar instead. This appears to be a major breakthrough - in that my journal contains many lists that do not have a reality filter. The difference is that instead of writing down a bunch of things, which can very easily become unaccountable and too high in the air, the calendar for forces a reality of time constraints upon anything that I do. It injects brilutal honesty on my capacities. This also allows me to be very focused on the top priority tasks such that I don't do unnecessary things, and it helps me to focus on genius tasks, and outsourcing of anything that does not require genius. The other point of the. Calendar is the psychology of lists: uncompleted lists cause a psychological dissonance according to psychologists - while a calendar task is typically more specific, and more likely to get completed.

Cameron responded why 3 Year Painted Picture is 3 years. 2 years is too close to the present, and 5 gets to be too far too vet somebody excited about it. So 3 is the right mix - can't be too close to uninspired, and it can't be too far so people can't look that far. 3 years is a long time, but not too long.
