I can see it: YES I suffer from depression. I see it after having a day at work which, because of having visits from elsewhere which had to do directly with our department, was a GREAT DAY and reminded me of days at work elsewhere. It was so great that somehow the following day felt … More La depresión
I still think the original article was the most interesting, with its discussion of time, what time is, and its practical questions: What matters now? (People change in time, so it’s natural that priorities change in time, as well. Make sure you’re not acting on yesteryear’s priorities just because you had them last year.) What … More More on priorities
This is what I learned about priorities. First education: Service and leisure come first. Creative and lucrative work are ornaments that enhance your service potential, or that are parts of leisure. (I was always dissatisfied with this hobbycraft version of life.) College and graduate school: Research and creative work are first, teaching and lucrative work … More On priorities
This has to do with my having traumatized myself by ignoring what was really going on and trying to say my problem was “time management.” The thing is that I do not want to be efficient. I don’t want to sit down with one eye on the clock and try to rush. I don’t want … More On efficiency
I am up to auto-psycho-radiography again, because of the confirmation that one should think of one’s days in terms of defining and acting on priorities, not of “time management.” Actual priorities, however, are not always easy to discern. One has the priorities one thinks one should have, and the ones one does have (and acts … More The connection between belief in truth, confidence, direction and purpose (you need the first to have the other three)
I do not understand: The thing you want is buried deep in categories. I don’t know of a way to set percentage directly but you can put points on the category itself and Moodle will calculate percentages from that. Once you’ve set the category, then click on the settings for that category and set the … More Instructions for the Moodle gradebook
It is management of priorities, and thus of self. I told you so, I told you so, I told you so. From the article: What matters now? (People change in time, so it’s natural that priorities change in time, as well. Make sure you’re not acting on yesteryear’s priorities just because you had them last … More I told you it was not time management
I am trying hard to clear my workspace. It always looks neat but that is deceptive since the files and books are not fully organized; part of my block involves not knowing where things are, or not having them at hand. The current revolution has been enabled by my purchase of a new bookcase. I … More The notes, the notes
This is a podcast I like, and it is right on topic for me. Axé.
Another of the 1992 photocopies I am recycling is a famous article by Cornelius Castoriadis: The Retreat from Autonomy: Post-Modernism as Generalized Conformism. I had it, of course, because there was no Internet; it is a left critique of postmodernism and Castoriadis has, in general, a great deal to say about subjectivity, the formation of … More Cornelius Castoriadis
