The DaVinci Method
¦ dialling in from Jesus Mound ¦
Not sure if I actually read this somewhere or if I'm just making it up, but I'm now deep into the DaVinci method (again). I first used it in later 2004 when I wrote the novel 'Iron Man Project' in only 5 weeks. Now it's 2.35AM and I'm wading through Yellow Dawn 2nd edition...with a similar magical effect. The method is stark simple. During the day work for 45 minutes, then lie down for 15. Get up when the alarm beeps, make a quick mug of tea, work for 45, then lie down for 15. And repeat for as long as is required for the day. Approaching midnight I shift the pattern, reducing the work period to 30 minutes, but still followed by 15 minutes lying down. It's amazing because you just drift into this incredible productive state of mind - never really tired - where the actual time of day or night has no relevance. I've been working all day and night and I'm not tired. Wonderful.
