Hi gang Lately I've been finding that between IRC, twitter spam, and all the other communication conveniences of our modern lives, it's really hard to force yourself to devoting a whole day to learning some new technology or to hack on that Important Project or what have you.
I'd like to experiment with the idea of a Personal Sprint, where you pack up a laptop and all the downloaded material and books you need into a backpack, go somewhere unusual or picturesk or otherwise undistracting and spend a 5 or 10 or 15 hour day or evening or night with absolute nothing to distract from the task. Only problem is, I'm stuck for places to do it. In the past I've had some success with shorter periods of a few hours, by just getting on a train to Penrith, or sitting our on the foodcourt balcony at Bondi Junction shopping centre, and so on. But where would people recommend as places to go for this kind of thing? Limitations. 1. Must be reasonably reachable by public transport, some use of taxis is acceptable. 2. Must have electricity, buying 10 hours of extra battery time is probably not reasonable, extension cords are allowable. Thoughts?
