Scanner people

All off topic discussions go here. Everything from the funny thing your cat did to your favorite tv shows. Non-programming computer questions are ok too.

Maybe you are a scanner.

Note two important things:

- There is a book available that helps scanners to achieve goals (which is difficult for scanners).
- Not everybody who flips from one project to another is a scanner. If you aren't a scanner, try to concentrate on a few projects or just one.

I personally am not a scanner, but after some time I get seriously stuck on a project. Then I can't think clear about the project. Then I switch to another one because there I can work on. But I do have a priority list. So I bounce back to my top project when I can concentrate on it again.

Greetings
Peter
