Everybody dies, Tracey. Someone's carrying a bullet for you right now, doesn't even know it. The trick is to die of old age before it finds you.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Was it this? [link] The name doesn't sound familiar, but the image does...

I have a stupid complicated system using paper (to do lists and calendars), Googletasks, Google calendar, Omnifocus (on my phone, tablet, and laptop) iCal, and sticky notes. And the occasional back of an envelope, but I try to avoid that. Needs rethinking but I do not have time for that.

I tell you, I spent 3 weeks in Albania in 2001, and that was in my head the whole damn time.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

-t that looks right to, but when I read about it, that one seems much more complicated. This one is sort of- write down everything, draw a line, write down more stuff after the line, do stuff.

Punishingly Intricate

How is that not just making a list of everything you need to do?

I've been using Evernote a lot more lately -- so I can separate tasks by topic. It works somewhat well if I can remember to record the tasks as they arise.

I can't remember-- that's why I wish I knew the name so I could look it up. There was something about moving items under the line at a certain time?

One of my friends was just saying he'd taken up that bullet journal method and was loving it. Seemed too complicated to me. I've tried a few online methods, but generally just go back to old pen and paper lists. Usually separate notebooks for work and life, and when a list gets mostly done or messy looking, start a new page with the undone things and any new things I can come up with...and when a notebook gets too scruffy looking, the fun of buying a new notebook!

"You can't put a price on the joy of not giving a shit." -Zenkitty

Sorry--that wasn't a real question, just a comment on the appropriateness of the choice

I think the Pixies are a dubious choice for ANY product you may want to sell, unless your product IS a bone machine. Sometimes I wonder if there's some music nerd in the advertising department who is all "I can't believe I got away with that." But mostly I think somebody liked the way it sounded and didn't actually listen to or think about the lyrics.

For some reason I cannot comprehend Evernote. Everything I put in there, I can never find again, which is weird because I thought that was the point? I think I might need a tutorial.

Because books.

Yeah, Evernote looked great to me, and I found it really confusing. I think I'm just a pencil and paper girl at heart.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

I can't use any sort of reminder system that doesn't stay in front of my face at all times, because I just forget to look at it. Tasks in Gmail is helpful just because I check Gmail all the time, and the Tasks bar is right there.

I just wish I could access Tasks on my phone, but I can't figure out how.
