“Doing half of something is, essentially, doing nothing.”
Jeff Sutherland, Scrum: The Art of Doing Twice the Work in Half the Time

Chris Kraus
“When you're living so intensely in your head there isn't any different between what you imagine and what actually takes place. Therefore, you're both omnipotent and powerless.”
Chris Kraus, I Love Dick

Lynsey Addario
“Photography has shaped the way I look at the world; it has taught me to look beyond myself and capture the world outside. It’s also taught me to cherish the life I return to when I put the camera down. My work makes me better able to love my family and laugh with my friends.”
Lynsey Addario, It's What I Do: A Photographer's Life of Love and War

Chris Kraus
“I was unhappy too. And until we own our history, she thought, I thought, there can be no change.”
Chris Kraus, I Love Dick

Jeff Sutherland
“The human mind has limits. We can only remember so many things; we can really only concentrate on one thing at a time. This tendency—for the process of fixing things to get harder as more time elapses—represents a similar limitation. When you’re working on a project, there’s a whole mind space that you create around it. You know all the different reasons why something is being done. You’re holding a pretty complicated construct in your head. Re-creating that construct a week later is hard. You have to remember all the factors that you were considering when you made that choice. You have to re-create the thought process that led you to that decision. You have to become your past self again, put yourself back inside a mind that no longer exists. Doing that takes time. A long time. Twenty-four times as long as it would take if you had fixed the problem when you first discovered it.”
Jeff Sutherland, Scrum: The Art of Doing Twice the Work in Half the Time
