productivity tool: race

My first thought: well, that's putting it rather bluntly... Oh, ze's probably referring to the competitive time thing.

And I will do better with training.

Bahahah. Your current neurochemical high will wear off in 2 days.

This should be written in bold red letters on the fourth cover of every motivation and productivity book or guide.

Right underneath it should be: ...so establish new habits fast, while it's still easy!

Current? The event happened months ago, I only wrote it down now, I hope it's obvious you can't keep this up 24/7. A silly example: I learned to put on and take off my jacket while walking the stairs. Saves me few seconds every time I go out. It's a habit now and, most importantly, it was fun to pick that habit up. It's boring to cleanup a desk. It's fun to try to cleanup a desk with only one hand within 20 seconds.

The story is just a feed for thought, it's up to the reader to figure out what works for him.
