Lets break the lazy pattern

For years now I’ve had to write notes and to do lists to remember things. Since I left school unless I do something everyday my memory fails me and I forget so quickly :(

A tip I learned to clear the mind is to lubricate it. Take a break. Breathe and take a glass of water. Most of us especially me are severely dehydrated. How can our minds work if we are starved of the liquid it needs to work?

Not so long ago. There was no writing. The memory the Mind was full of amazing things and we couldn’t write things down. All things were shared and passed down in verse. We have the remnants of this in the tales of Arthur, the Mabinogian and The Lord of the Rings
Let’s delete those apps on our phone we rely on and exercise our minds and our creativity. Trust and let’s do this together.

Can I let you in on a secret? Typing two spaces after a period is totally, completely, utterly, and inarguably wrong.

And yet people who use two spaces are everywhere, their ugly error crossing every social boundary of class, education, and taste.* You’d expect, for instance, that anyone savvy enough to read Slate would know the proper rules of typing, but you’d be wrong; every third e-mail I get from readers includes the two-space error. (In editing letters for “Dear Farhad,” my occasional tech-advice column, I’ve removed enough extra spaces to fill my forthcoming volume of melancholy epic poetry, The Emptiness Within.) The public relations profession is similarly ignorant; I’ve received press releases and correspondence from the biggest companies in the world that are riddled with extra spaces. Some of my best friends are irredeemable two spacers, too, and even my wife has been known to use an unnecessary extra space every now and then (though she points out that she does so only when writing to other two-spacers, just to make them happy).
