Removing Your Menu Bar Clock

August 26th, 2009 § 0


Gosh, this is so true.

Go ahead, give it a shot, remove the clock from your menubar. Just for a little while. Just to see how it feels. Do you need to be somewhere at a particular time? Put it on the calendar and set an alarm to go off long enough before hand to allow you to get there. Do you need to know what time it is right now for some reason? Put the clock widget on your Dashboard. You can always put it back if you really find you can’t live without it but here is what I have found…

When you are not watching the clock, you forget about the clock and, when you do, it is incredibly freeing.

I was able to work without my menubar clock for only a few hours. I’ve found a comfortable compromise in switching to the analog clock. The absence of numbers on this tiny clock make it more challenging to read, and in turn, less distracting.

In The Works

So, I’m finally getting around to building my portfolio site. Although my Carbonmade.com portfolio was only intended to be a temporary solution, it has sadly become my sole online presence after working as an independent designer for over two years. This is an embarrassing fact, but it’s also a classic example of the “The cobbler’s children go unshod.” I’m glad to be so busy with client work, but it’s time to get this site up and running! I will be working on this project intermittently, so please, mind your step as you look around. Cheers.

Where am I?
