Constraint Orders

It shall take me fifteen minutes to write this little note.

The idea has not rippen long. It came while I was mopping the floor. Inspiration comes quite frequently by contact of water. More usual is showering or washing the dishes.

The paragraphs have not been decided in advance. I know only that I will write less than ten, maybe four or five. It will not be a long note. As always here, since I find blog entries way too long to my taste. I know this paragraph is reaching completion, since it has more than three sentences, which span on more than three lines.

Five minutes gone already. What do I have to say exactly ? The main idea is this recent discovery : starting a project implies one recognizes its natural constraints. The most important constraints for intellectual work are time and space.

Saying this as it is right now took another five minutes. So I guess I shall conclude soon, if I want to review and delete some unnecessary words. Maybe all I need is a punch line. I thought of this, still mopping, a while ago : Space is the final frontier of the Futuristic Comboy. But for the paper tiger, time is of the essence.

I may need to come back and edit. But for now, my fifteen minutes are already gone and there is no title yet. Three more minutes to find a funny one.

Maybe fifteen minutes was overoptimistic.
