@kdfrawg I’ll let you know when the latest one arrives. :)

@hazardwarning Also, you can get through a lot of paper with some of those pens.

@hazardwarning It might actually provoke me to spend bigger chunks of time on each thing.

@hazardwarning Sadly, I’ve added a dip pen habit to the fountain pen one. And I have to say that it gives me very little more pleasure than having and using one nice pen.
// @literary
@literary Nice! I should try that. I lazily throw the odd photo into Day One, but hardly ever add words.
@peemee I read the transcript instead. :) And I hid the 10C window behind Safari so the little red spot wasn’t calling to me!
// @skematica @hazardwarning @kdfrawg
@peemee Thanks. I’m not good at listening, but I’ll give it a go.

@peemee I remember seeing that in the New Scientist, but I’d forgotten the details. I remembered that the people who thought they were best at it actually turned out to be the worst. The cortisol part is interesting — I really don’t like any drugs that mimic stress hormones, so it would make sense that I dislike the feeling. Of course, here I am keeping tabs on Plurk & 10C, while half-reading the article and dabbling with a bit of calligraphy. Sigh.

@skematica I’m not sure if focus & finish describes my mentality, or just easily disturbed.
// @hazardwarning @peemee @kdfrawg
@kdfrawg Maybe I don’t have the right terminology. I don’t think that switching between a main task and being somewhat aware of my surroundings is a problem, but swapping between two or three social sites, the odd news or tech article &c rarely makes me feel better. Reading a book or doing something practical do make me feel better.
The interactions on the social sites can be very good, and sometimes the articles I read are interesting and informative, but spending a little time on each in rotation doesn’t feel good.
