OP! OOPPPP!!!!

Well, this is probably going to get lost in the shuffle of all these comments, but here it goes:

I have a friend from college who is an INCREDIBLE pianist and wrote an entire album around the concept of synesthesia. Each of the tracks is named and themed after a color. Can you please take a listen to the samples on this page and tell me if you think the songs' "colors" match the colors you perceive from the music? If you can, try to listen to them without looking at the titles; navigate the page from the bottom up and look for the grey play buttons. Thank you so much!

Thank you for doing this AMA, Cal! I'm really enjoying Digital Minimalism; as a life-long anxious person and gadget-lover, it's helping me re-evaluate my relationship with my devices and how to use them more mindfully and intentionally.

So, I have been using a personal Google Calendar for years to plan my days, moving events from Facebook or other sources into my main calendar when I have firmly committed to attend them. I have thought about making a dedicated Google Calendar for time-boxing that would be separate and would generally guide my day.

My question is: Do you think a digital time-boxing solution like this would work? If not, why a pen-and-paper method over a digital one? Are there time-boxing notebooks/templates/software out there you would recommend?
