1st of March

So at the end of last year, for the first time ever, I wrote a list of goals for the coming year. I mentioned quite a few of them in this post.
I then worked out from those goals what I would attempt to achieve in the first quarter of the year (Jan-Mar) and then [...]

Welcome 2009!

Hi everyone
I’ve been avoiding posting anything recently as I wanted to make today special since it’s the first day of the calendar year and a wonderful time to start afresh.
Over the past few weeks I’ve been slowly mapping out my goals for 2009 and I decided to restart my 101 in 1001 as well. [...]

One down – only One Hundred to go

Yesterday I mentioned Brad Issac at Achieve-IT! is running a month-long series on Goal Setting and today we’re on Day Two: Start with a Big List.

as much as I could into my control journal, which I’m certain is a lot
thicker than would be [...]

Tarot Bags

Thought I’d Share

Sharing the contents of my Planner

This is definitely me!

I think Getting Things Done appeals to nerds for a lot of reasons. Overgeneralizing for effect:
* nerds are often disorganized or have a twisted skein of attention-deficit issues
* nerds love assessing, classifying, and defining the objects in their world
* nerds crave actionable items and roll their eyes at “mission statements” and lofty management patois
* nerds [...]
