Time is a precious resource that we fill up with activities. If there’s an opening in our schedule, we have little difficulty finding something to fill that space. But our full attention isn’t available at each waking moment, it needs time to recharge like our bodies. Much like a rise or fall in income affects one’s lifestyle, a change in free time is spent as quickly as it appears.

The prevalence of sleep deprivation is evident in our massive market for coffee and other stimulants. Although our mind requires rest to maintain peak functionality, we make do by relying on stimulants to simulate wakefulness. A regular lack of sleep results in weight gain and reduced decision making ability. In extreme cases sleep deprivation can be terminal, but thats only under extraordinary circumstances.

Life can be a struggle, or a harmonic state of going with the flow.
This contrast is evident when awakening from a deep slumber. When unconscious, sleep is our reality. Some days we wake up super sharp, ready to go, and literally jump out of bed. Other days the struggle to become conscious is fraught with insane challenge. There’s no simple way to cause our mental state to shift from unconscious to conscious. Sleep is so seductive, there’s little chance that we’ll get out of bed with a clear and focused mind. Force of will can bring us into a hazy state of wakefulness.

Writing good software libraries is hard because you have to make the code as close to bullet proof as possible. By bullet proof I mean elegant, reusable, fast, and few bugs. This is a terrible restriction for a first design. Throw away code could be the start of a library, but it has no requirement to be such.
