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!

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.

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

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.

I ordered a turkey sandwich with honey mustard and banana peppers for lunch, and I got a tuna sandwich with banana peppers. It is the cafeteria delivery, so I don't really want to take the time to complain and get someone back here, but I am disappointed. They put far too much tuna on their sandwiches, and it is not great tuna, and it has too much mayo/miracle whip. They also did not bring chips AND it is in an AU Bon Pain bag, and they are not Au Bon Pain-- I think the regular person was out today.

I'm currently using a vinyl chalkboard in my kitchen for task management. Very satisfying.

I also keep my appointments in a Daytimer, though from years of experience, I've reduced my paper usage in that to two pages per month. I started out with two pages per day and have whittled it down due to underusage...the two pages are plenty.

Lastly, a friend and I have instituted a 10:30am call each weekday where we list three things we intend to do for the day and report on the three things we planned the previous day. It's a bit creaky getting the process rolling (I missed the call this morning due to lack of attention...but rang in less than an hour late.)

It's sort of a verbal kan ban.

So far, so good!

My friend hipped me to a zen habits article about doing the hard stuff first. This is proving to be a major challenge to me, as is evidenced by a) it being noon-thirty and I have only done email and puttering around the internet and b) a major project intended for the first of the year that is now 4 months over due. Sigh.

A Serbian woman who used to work in the costume shop before moving back to Aerbia called that "doing your frog " (the frog being the hard thing). It made me laugh at the time, but it does help.
