Going through the archive of links-yet-to-post, I found this little gem from December 2003 (yes there is a bit of a backlog… thankfully THIS site is still active).

Twofifty which “is a showcase for digital artwork, strictly 250 by 250 pixels in dimensions and on various platforms including GIF, PNG, JPEG, Java, DHTML, Flash and Shockwave.“

The quality of the artwork is very impressive… simply amazing how much detail can be squeezed into a 250 × 250 pixel canvas.

I’m like millions of other people who are prone to productive avoidance from time to time.

Productive Avoidance Syndrome sufferers will do almost anything and everything to avoid the true task at hand. They’ll do chores that they’ve put off for ages IF it means avoiding something more pressing, more daunting…

Thankfully, there is now a solution… 50 Strategies For Making Yourself Work.

While it’s mainly written with writers in mind, there are techniques there for all types of Productive Avoidance Syndrome… for example:

• Hide your wristwatch in a drawer. (Meaning: reduce your dependence on the clock. Let your inner circadian rhythms tell you when it’s time to write and when it’s not.)
• Keep more than one project going at once. Switch to another the moment you slow down on one.
