The Knowledge Project, part 2: Erase, erase, erase... your planning

The picture shows a key role in my studies. Around 14 meter shelves, most often overcrowded from current literature, study literature, magazines and some books/magazines in line for me reading them. And a crossword magazine. At the top of the shelves, I have put two whiteboards on the wall. On those, I write what to be done week for week, 2 weeks at a time.

Each thing done, I rub out, and to rub things out is extremely fun. Or maybe not... but you have to persuade yourself with that. Your brain wants to do more of what it has been rewarded for; the thing is to reward when you do what you planned to do.

But a brain do not demand same sort of rewards as you do. It is easy to fool, and is able to be fooled to think the most fun thing ever is to rubs out things from a whiteboard. Well, you have to eagerly tell yourself that and hence the brain will accept it after awhile.

But the whiteboards aren't the only place I am rubbing things out from. I also have a Google calendar, where I place the long-term planning, and from where I fetch the information I put up on the whiteboards. Also here, I am allowed to rub out things when they are done.
