Just some random stuff I've run across.

The easiest way to collect the archives is to unlock the horse as quickly as possible. Why? Because it's large and extremely fast. You can travel to any area in minutes if you've got the paths down. You can also outrun pretty much anything quite easily. It's not difficult at all to collect all three archives then sacrifice yourself to get the next story episode in less than five minutes.

Funnily enough, they've had this thing for five years. It's been a useless dust gathering brick for that entire time period. For the sake of about ten feet ...

That's my productivity threshold. Completing three tasks as early as possible is what gives me the forward momentum to lead a productive day. The days when I ignore my alarm, sleep in and start the day in front of the computer are the days I am least likely to get anything done because of the failure to reach that threshold in a timely fashion.
