Alltock — Alltop Procrastinator’s Clock
Alltock (the Alltop Procrastinator’s Clock) does this:

Replaces your Mac’s clock in the menu bar.
Runs somewhere between on-time and fifteen minutes fast to keep you from procrastinating. Since you don’t know how fast it’s running, you better not cut things too close!
Shows weekday, hours, and minutes. Does not show seconds so you can’t perceive how it’s adjusting itself as you hurry to finish things on time.

A Guide to Alternative Handwriting and Shorthand Systems
The letters you are now reading, while well adapted to the eye to be read, are so ill adapted to the hand to be written that schools teach longhand as an alternative to printing them. The more cursive longhand is easy to learn, but only about 10% faster than printing. Alternative handwriting systems offer 100% or better improvements in handwriting ease and speed. If you could spend the rest of your life taking notes or keeping a journal/diary while writing two or three times faster, then, gee, why not?

Diary of a Self-Help Dropout: Flirting With the 4-Hour Workweek
Allen, Morgenstern, and Ferriss are a nicely compatible family unit: David Allen is the practical dad who reminds you not to overcomplicate things; just get the job done. Julie Morgenstern is the encouraging mom who, while hugging you, says, "It'll be all right; you just need to focus on what's important here." And Tim Ferriss is the upstart kid who cries, "Think outside the box, man!"
