I've set up a system for taking screenshots on my laptop automatically, with 1/20 probability each moment, and then automatically uploading them to my recently-started blog.
I intend this as a sort of precommitment to productivity. If anyone else wants to try this, I can help.
I also reconnected my laptop to the internet (previously I kept it disconnected to boost productivity), because I need that to be able to post the screenshots. If this turns out to not be a net gain, I'll change it back.
This is the public group instrumental rationality diary for the week of August 20th. It's a place to record and chat about it if you have done, or are actively doing, things like:
Or anything else interesting which you want to share, so that other people can think about it, and perhaps be inspired to take action themselves. Try to include enough details so that everyone can use each other's experiences to learn about what tends to work out, and what doesn't tend to work out.
Thanks to everyone who contributes!
