21/100 days of productivity

So I was actually pretty productive today (currently working on writing speeches and rebuttals for a debate in English), but I didn’t feel like taking a picture, so I’ll just answer a question that’s becoming increasingly popular: “What’s the screensaver that you use?”

I couldn’t figure out how to get a good picture of it, and apparently there are no pictures of the light option available on the internet, so here’s the dark option for visual reference, taken from the website:

It’s called Padbury Clock, and can be downloadable for Mac here. (Unfortunately, it’s only for Mac, sorry…)

when i was 12 i babysat this girl for a few years and she would come to me and show me her art, drag me by my wrists and point at the pieces she’d made during the week. and she’d be like “do the voice” and i’d put on a sports-announcer olympics-style voice and be like “such form! this level of coloring! why i haven’t seen such perfection in crayola in a long time. and what is this? why jeff, now this is a true risk… it seems she’s made … a monochrome pink canvas…. i haven’t seen this attempted since winter 1932… and i gotta say, jeff, it’s absolutely splendid” and she’d fall back giggling. at the end of every night she’d check with me: “did you really like it?” and i’d say yes and talk about something i noticed and tucked her in.

she was just accepted into 3 major art schools. she wrote me a letter. inside was a picture from when she was younger. monochrome pink.

“thank you,” it said, “to somebody who saw the best in me.”

How would it feel to accomplish every single goal you set out to make in 2016?

You don’t need to be perfect of have superpowers to be successful. You just need the right tools! Like the super pretty Spark Planner, which aims to be your ultimate get-’er-done companion for 2016. Its smartly designed pages help you set your big goals (”Never stop writing!”), break them down into baby steps, and then celebrate all that you accomplish, as you go. You can also set 30-day challenges and monthly goals, and respond to weekly journaling prompts that will help you process your work to-date and plan how to keep moving forward. And that’s just the beginning!

How did Kate Matsudaira manage to put together the perfect goal-accomplishing calendar? It all comes down to her personal experience:

In my career, I have worked with some of the smartest, most successful people in the world. From my time as a software engineer at big companies like Microsoft and Amazon to my time as a Chief Technology Officer at successful startups like Moz and Decide, to sitting on boards of international organizations, I have seen one thing time and time again: the most successful people in the world are always organized and put together.

Now, The Spark Planner is her way of making “organized” a possibility for everybody.
