This is what I've learned...

Savor the warmth of her eyes

The Delicious scent of her skin

her incredibly complex intelligence

her sensualness

her creativity.

The courage with which she lives
her life.

The tender softness of her lips

her not so quiet surrender to
my desire.

Listen intently to her voice.
It will live in your ears forever.

Savor her, and the preciousness
of this moment...you will remember
it forever.

Appreciate all the wonder of her...NOW.

It is in fact, all we can take with us.
Beauty savored...loved...remembered.

Know that her surrender is a gift.

Dr. Cal Newport on Digital Minimalism - What it is & Why it Matters

"Cal Newport created a philosophy called digital minimalism, which
is the idea of reducing your digital life down to only the most important
core essentials. Remove the apps from your phone, then slowly
re-introduce only the ones that are the most useful and beneficial.
Take control of your smartphone, rather than letting it control you.

Digital minimalism is a philosophy of technology use. This philosophy
pulls from the concepts of minimalism, essentialism, the slow
movement, and the 80/20 principle, applying these ideas towards
your digital life."

Why DEEP WORK is So Valuable, with Cal Newport

"Deep Work" by Cal Newport

"Your most valuable asset isn’t your house, car or
retirement portfolio. It’s your attention.

Most knowledge workers spend their day frantically
hopping between meetings, emails, phone calls
and social media.

But that’s not the best way to stand out in the
modern economy.

Emails are necessary, says author and professor Cal Newport.
They’ll keep you from getting fired. But they won’t get you
promoted.

In fact, his Deep Work Hypothesis states that the ability
to do deep work is becoming more rare, yet at the same
time, more valuable.

That means if you can train your mind to resist the
common distractions we all face, you’ll become more
valuable in the workplace, whether you’re self-employed
or traditionally employed.

The problem, however, is that most of are intimidated
by deep work. We welcome distractions from difficult
tasks that take a toll on our brain power.

How can you re-arrange your life to enhance Deep Work?
Here are a few tips:

#1: Recognize that every hour you spend on “shallow work”
is an hour that you’re not spending on deep, rare, valuable work.

#2: Don’t just focus on “cutting” — chopping email, cutting
social media. That’s a good start, but it’s not enough.

Instead, ask the question: “What’s the ideal deep work
vs. shallow work ratio?” — how many hours should I spend
on each one? — and structure your workday accordingly.

For example, you might decide to spend your time 50/50
on deep vs. shallow work. If that’s your ideal arrangement, you
might spend the first four hours of your workday
— 8 am to 12 noon — invested in deep work. Then take a
break for lunch, and spend the second half of your
workday — 1 pm to 5 pm — answering emails, participating
in meetings, etc.

Alternately, you could break up your deep work into
chunks — 8 am to 10 am, then 3 pm to 5 pm.
Use the 10 am – 3 pm stretch for the necessary
shallow work of emails, meetings and phone calls.

As a third option, you might block off 2.5 days per week for
deep work, and devote the other 2.5 days to shallow work.

However you arrange the workday, the most important takeaway
is that you consciously choose your ideal deep-to-shallow ratio, and
then structure your time accordingly.

#3: Let go of the “Any Benefit” decision-making model, in which
you’ll invest time into any social media platform, app or tool that
may provide some benefit.

Recognize that many tools might provide benefits, but each tool
contains a serious time and energy cost. Therefore, you shouldn’t
adopt a new tool, app or social media platform unless you’re
convinced it’ll create demonstrable value.

Deep work also isn’t something that you cram into the margins
of your life. To the contrary, focusing on deep work allows you to
boost your productivity at work and feel more fully present at home.

Newport discusses the concept of Deep Work, and shares tips on
how to apply this to our lives..."

La Milonga del Treno - "Te extraño" (Mayte Martín/Mariano Díaz)

"Te extraño...
como se extrañan las noches sin estrellas
como se extrañan las mañanas bellas
no estar contigo por Dios que me hace daño...

Te extraño...
cuando camino cuando lloro cuando rio
cuando el sol brilla
cuando hace mucho frio
porque te siento como algo tan mio.

Te extraño...
como los arboles extrañan el otoño,
en esas noches que no concibo el sueño
no te imaginas amor como te extraño.

Te extraño...
a cada paso que siento solitario
cada momento que estoy viviendo a diario
estoy muriendo amor porque te extraño.

Te extraño...
cuando la aurora comienza a dar colores
con tus virtudes, con todos tus errores
por lo que quieras, no se...
pero te extraño...."
