On the Word “Harmony”

On the Word “Harmony”

Jun 28, 2024

The term “harmony” finds its way into many places.
But I worry if its power has dissolved, diluted among commerce and culture.
But a pause brings its beauty and power from whatever had once obscured it, never truly lost, patiently awaiting an observer, should we ever be ready.
Hearing notes that sound good together…
… what makes them sound good together?
    Hills and valleys,
          Waves sloshing and peaking through time,
              Movements blending,
                      holding some homeostatic state of itself,
An artist senses this cohesion as they shape the frame.
Something resonates deeply within ourselves, as the nature in us reflects the moment’s experience, all coming together at the shores of perception.
Music in the words.
Harmony in our worlds.
– Kourosh

Stats reports for OmniFocus

Jun 19, 2016

OmniFocus is very much an app about doing.  It's not designed with graphical reporting in mind.  Here's a neat app, though, put together by Thomas Schoffelen, that shows a list of open tasks, and completed tasks from the last 7 days, last 3 months, and completed per...

A Principle of Completable Lists

Jun 3, 2016

We can have any number of types of task lists, be they a perspective, a context, or a project. Some lists stick around: the daily list, phone calls to make, things to file, agenda items, and more. They fill up, we clear them, and they fill up again. Two questions we...
