A fresh start into the day with new energy

After a really stressful time I finally get some time to rest. Now I am up and running again. So first of all, and to organize myself.

A great tool for staying productive is called focus booster.

It's a great and nifty little program which is free by the way that just counts down the time for chunks of 25 min.


After that you get 5 minutes of rest. The more blocks of time you get to complete the more productive you will be.

It's a very simple concept, but it really works. It's called the Pomodoro Technique.

experimenting around with speech to text recognition dictation program

MicrocassetteEquipmentAndTapeImage via Wikipedia
Today I started playing around with this speech recognition software that is included in windows seven and that you can find by simply writing

Speech recognition

And the search field.

To be honest I was really amazed with this free program and I'm using it right now to write this little nice blog post.


If I should be able to use this program as well as a would like to then writing my journal would be some speedy and easy task.

But to be honest I needed to correct myself pretty often right now and if this thing doesn't really get any better than perhaps I would stick to traditional writing with a keyboard.

Never give up - failure is an opportunity, brilliantly disguised!

Got a major drawback today. And I got pretty pissed about it too.

Then I took a deep breath. And really looked into what just happened. In principle, I did never fail. i gave 110% of my soul and about 10000% of my body to get so far. If it was not enough, time just was missing.


Now I got more time. There is always a possibility when there is no other alternative. The key is to keep on plugging away when all others say you can't go on!!

Man I'm tired as hell - tomorrow's the big day!


To be honest I should be doing something completely different right now. Like reviewing my thesis - again. I think I did not sleep more than 3 hours each night - on average - for a full week now.


So I do not really feel like concentrating right now. Perhaps it will come and bite me, but ah, whatever!


After I will be done with my thesis, now what to do? I am running a little website, that I would love to promote more. But that will take some time. There are also like 20 projects running in my head, each with potential chances to even make me some money on the side...! Can't wait to get free from the grip of that paper!!
