OK, so maybe this is what I need to do. Or is this freaky? No: what’s freaky is juggling twenty-five projects at once.

At last week’s AI STORIES workshop, Gabriele de Seta led a workshop exploring Butterflies.ai, a social media platform where all the users are AIs. Gathering a group of researchers in a room for a few hours to explore and discuss a specific genAI platform turns out to be a really […]
When I studied literature we mostly read the classics. Great literature, the canon. But that’s not necessarily what most people actually read. What if instead of comparing AI-generated literature to the literary canon, we tried comparing it to super popular and commercial forms of literature instead? Like the folkebøker that […]
Synthetic media is a current popular term for AI-generated videos, texts and images. I think the first use was only a few years ago in 2018, but I couldn’t find an overview of its use so thought I’d cobble one together here, mostly because I like Elena Pilipets and her […]
OpenAI plans to charge $20,000 (USD) a month for an AI agent that can do “PhD level research”. Maybe all the PhDs and postdocs recently fired by DOGE should band together and sell their services as “AI agents” – apparently some people will pay more for robots than people. At […]
This is my original Norwegian draft of an essay published in the Danish foreign policy magazine Udenrigs today as part of a special issue on AI and foreign policy. I argue that AI is influencing the way we tell stories, and more seriously, that there is a risk of this […]
In 2022 I learned about FAIR data, the movement to make research data Findable, Accessible, Interoperable and Reproducible. One of UiB’s brilliant research librarians, Jenny Ostrup, patiently helped me make the dataset from the Machine Vision project FAIR in 2022 – I wrote a little bit about that in my […]

I’ve tried this so many times! And maybe it’s just me, but I can’t seem to tell my brain to do this stuff. I can organise my time and think ok…I’ll focus on ‘what are games’ for about 2 hours (before I go mad), then I’ll read some more for 2 hours, break, then I’ll write some more on what makes TSO a game. Now…I may be a completely lost idiot…but I can’t get my brain to function that way. It may take me a whole hour just to get into writing about my research on what a game is and then when I’m on a role…I can’t stop just because I’ve scheduled it. But then again…I only have one project to think of…so I suppose my problems are minimal compared to yours Jill…LOL!

I think it’s different when you’re working on a single project and you have a whole day. I’m not sure what the bexst way of organising your day for that is – a friend of mine writes every morning and reads in the afternoon, becaue she finds reading less demanding than writing. Another friend claims to do the opposite.
Right now what I find really hard is trying to juggle about twenty different projects and give them all enoiugh attention to keep them moving. Clearly the grass is always greener – I remember having just one big project was really hard too. but right now the hardest thing is switching constantly.
And I don’t know, one big project really is hard. I don’t think there’s one solution…

I have recently had to get my life/schedule in order as well because I keep double booking things (I tend to be over optimistic with time!!) It helps to read these posts where I see that I am not the only one and there were some GREAT links to follow as well! Thanks!!

This is done in iCal, but I assume it’d work in any calendar software – there are some technical discussions at the other end of that link 🙂
