Know enough
One thing I clearly see through index cards experience is that a paper is more flexible and robust than computer, especially to enhance one’s discovery.
This contemplation has start to change my life in reality. On desktop, my PowerBook is move to side, and paper returns to the center. This is symbolical event for me.
Since I got my first Macintosh about ten years ago, it had been always at a center of my life. For me, it is more than a computer. I spend most of time with Macintosh in a day. No doubt to be at center of my desktop.
It’s time for me to rethink relationship with computer. How to use it for better productivity. Computer is useful, of course. Most of time, howeber, a computer give me too much things. So now, I start to say “I’m enough.”

My computer is too often the center of my desk too (day&night)… Making a constant effort to reconnect with ink and paper, pencil and sketch book is so important. Thank you for the green sketch book and index cards. I recieved both of them a while back.
I agree… I am enough.

Thanks for your comment. And it’s good news the pack arrive to you. ;)
I think it’s easy to say “more and more”, but difficult to say “enough”.
