On the other hand, LW!Hermione failed to reproduce this experiment
I'm not sure how wide of an audience this post is targeting, but the !-notation feels gratuitous here. How about:
On the other hand, Hermione (LW user) failed to reproduce this experiment
I've never been able to make sense out of that. It sounds very tough and definite, but what does it mean?
This is sort of what I say to remind myself that having read some of something isn't a sufficient reason to finish it.
I pasted it into Google just now and found this article quoting it in a similar context.
Arrakis teaches the attitude of the knife - chopping off what's incomplete and saying: "Now, it's complete because it's ended here."

Sometimes, you can spend an expensive five hours hunting on the web for data that a research librarian could retrieve from a reference book in minutes.

I'm not sure what you mean. (Wait a while for me to plan the event, and perhaps suggest weekends when you're available? And/or do exercises from existing drawing textbooks on your own in the meantime? Or did you mean after the workshop?)

This answers what I meant, thanks.
Would anyone be interested?
Yes. But what's the next step?
Please talk to David McRaney (http://youarenotsosmart.com) to see if he'd be interested. His recent book, while far from comprehensive, has become the first place I look whenever I want to reference an accessible explanation of a particular cognitive bias.

Yes! For example, if you have trouble getting up when you hear an alarm, you can repeatedly practice lying in bed and setting your alarm for one minute from now, then immediately getting up when you hear it.
While you're at it, you might as well practice getting up, getting dressed, making the bed, starting the kettle (or whatever you would do for breakfast), etc.
