In the day I would be reminded of those men and women,
Brave, setting up signals across vast distances,
Considering a nameless way of living, of almost unimagined values.
Flowers are selective about what kind of pollinator they attract. Diurnal flowers use diverse colours to stand out in a competition against their neighbours for visual salience. But flowers with nocturnal anthesis are generally white, as they aim only to outshine the night.
I rly like the idea of making songs to powerfwly remind urself abt things. TODO.
I currently (until I get around to making a better system...) have an AI voice say reminders to myself based on calendar events I’ve set up to repeat every day (or any period I’ve defined). The event description is JSON, and if ‘”prompt”: “Time to take a walk!”’ is nonempty, the voice says what’s in the prompt.
I don’t have any routines that are too forcefwl (like “only dismissable with solving a puzzle”), because I want to minimize whip and maximize carrot. If I can only do what’s good bc I force myself to do it, it’s much less effective compared to if I just *want* to do what’s good all the time.
...But whip can often be effective, so I don’t recommend never using it. I’m just especially weak to it, due to not having much social backup-motivation, and a heavy tendency to fall into deep depressive equilibria.
