PARADIGM: Just do it now

Tuesday, July 8, 2025

Just do it now.

Seems simple.

Nike says “Do it” but that seems too simple.

Wife says “do it NOW!” But that seems impossible.

So I’ve come up with a new “heuristic”  — heuristic (rule of thumb)  — for myself.

Have a thought?

Estimate time to complete!

If less than a minute, be NIKE and “just do it”.

If less than FIVE minutes AND time permits, listen to wife and “do it NOW!”

For all other ideas, tasks, dikw (i.e., data, information, knowledge, wisdom), just “capture it”!

When “capturing”: first option is use GOOGLE TASKS, second option is write it in my Little Black Book in my back pocket, third is scribleit somewhere to be transcribed later, fourth is dictate to Siri or any such tool.

Let’s see how that works?

The Power of Circles in Food and Drink
Humans consistently associate roundness with sweetness.
BY PAULA MEJIA JANUARY 18, 2018

*** begin quote ***

A plate’s shape might be a subliminal factor in your eating experience, but it’s a significant one. Its design strongly influences how sweet or bitter we perceive a dish to be. Independent research has shown that you’re far more likely to associate sweetness with food served on round versus angular plates, whether it’s cheesecakeor beetroots. A 2017 Australian study even revealed that people drinking beer from a glass with curved sides reported it to taste both fruitier and more intense.

Wow that’s a kick in the head. We’re fooling ourselves unbeknownst to us. Argh!

So, what else don’t we realize?

Time for a paradigm shift. (“shared preconceptions, made prior to – and conditioning – the collection of evidence”)

Argh! Argh!
