Stuff is happening and new Columns technique (chunking)

 Might have figured out something valuable.  It's a new way of doing Columns.  Just did about 30 minutes.  Instead of doing Rolling, which is something I've been doing lately, I've been doing 'Chunking'.  So when I look at the columns when doing Columns (there are four columns of numbers and letters on each side--left and right) I will look at all of the columns once--kinda like diffused attention across all of them really exercising the periphery.  Then I'd slide over to the other side and do the same with the other set of columns on the right side.  Then, I'll zoom out and try to notice both chunks of columns (left and right) and try to read all the symbols as a sort of 'Super Chunk'--again, attention is diffused.  

This is very difficult to do, kind of fun, and it seems to have made a huge difference.  

Really, here's how I came across this technique.  I was thinking backwards about what the sheet will look like when I'm finally done.  What does it look like?  Then imagined myself as there, and then imagined how do I get from where I was to this new place, and then work backwards.  I've heard a lot of people talk about using this as a way to achieve goals as quickly and effectively as possible.  It's interesting, I think I'm going to do more of this.  

But yeah, I played Pavlov VR for a few hours last night.  It was insane.  I'm definitely in a new place.  Keep going.  I am making forward progress.  Keep going.
