The Delicate Art of Selective Neglect

Most people who try to do more that is reasonable in life learn sooner or later about the principle of selective neglect. Divide your time, energy and attention amongst all that you have to do in proportional amounts to their relative importance, and hope for the best. Or at least that’s how the theory goes. More on this later…

Me thinks its time to revisit my selectivity filter and tune it a bit.

Off to study for Control Systems,

    Steve, hopefully you do realise the importance of things you have forgotten.

    No matter how much I hope for the best … it never seems to arrive.
    In fact, one may sometimes be faced with the unfortunate reality that you cannot do everything. At least, you can’t do everything well.

    Steve, I hate Biochemistry.
