HCII week two: uh, equally manic?

Weird. I feel like a different person here. The kind of person who has all the energy to do all those things that I wish I could do if I had all that energy. The kind of person who can do all those things I wish I could do if I were good at doing things. I’m sure the honeymoon will wear off eventually. In the meantime, it’s still a lot of fun.

In other news:
Hunter-gatherers don’t expend a lot more calories than us; the reason obesity is widespread is that we eat more than they.
Becoming an expert: a lot of these tips (but not all of them) seem to be summarized by “beginner’s mind.” Stay humble and eager!
Here’s one person’s advice on managing work. I want to round up a dozen super effective people in my field and ask them how they work on a day-to-day basis. There’s probably not a huge amount that they do similarly, but there may be some telling common threads.
