Do you remember the old Five-Year Plans (‘Petoletka’) in the communist countries? Well, five years is far too long for the ADHD world of the 21st century, not to mention the hyperspeed of the Internet and the Blogosphere. So, I decided to try organizing my blogging in Five-Day Plans. What do you think of that?
First, next five days (Wednesday to Sunday), it will (almost) all politics all the time. The occasion? Guest-blogging on Echidne Of The Snakes. Yes, the Goddess herself has touched me with her bifurkated tongue! After a stint guest-blogging on Eschaton, Echidne is going on a well-deserved vacation for a week and she has lined up a very good list of guest-bloggers, including Blue Lilly, Pseudo-Adrienne, Skylanda, Hybrid and olvlzl.
So, although I have signed up for Thursday, Saturday and Sunday mornings, I may, if inspired, write a few more posts at different days/times. Every post will be cross-posted here, but I urge you to go check out Echidne’s great commenters (and get me out of trouble if I screw up) on each post!
After that, The Second Five-Day Plan (Monday through Friday) will be (almost) all clocks all the time. I will re-post almost all of the remaining Clock Tutorials from Circadiana, plus a few posts pertaining to vertebrates, then write a few more, detailing my research – at least the stuff that is already published, so you’ll know better what I did.
Of course, if something exciting happens in science, politics or whatever, I will make excursions (deviate from the plan! – don’t tell the comissar!), but for the most part I will stick to the plan. After that, I will welcome your feedback – do you like single-focus five-day plans? Did it work for me? I’l ask you again in ten days.

Duuude! Slow down, you are making the rest of us look lazy! I do hope it works out better than the Soviet five year plans did…
I have recently fallen well below my daily mean of 7.5 posts per day. But I hired this wonderful Russian biologist, name is Trofim, to help me out with the plan…
See, that’s where you went wrong. You should have got Tschetverikov…as long as you are still within 1 S.D. from the mean you are okay, right?
Yup, I should have asked great-great-grandpa (straight male academic line of descent: Tschetverikov, Dobzhansky, Pittendrigh, Menaker, Underwood, me) to help.
Academic line of descent to Tschetverikov (and Dobzhansky), that is sooo cool! Be like an anthopologist with a line of descent to Louis Leakey…
Exactly. Scientific royalty!
And also, for the people in my field, the last three names are also scientific royalty!
