What I need to do.

Penelope Trunk:

So I have started chanting a mantra to myself, (which I found on Lifehacker), that I think is going to help. The chant is all the productivity books in the world, distilled down to eleven words:

One thing at a time. Most important thing first. Start now.

Good advice, so – I’m gonna go get caught up on scanning and shredding.

This is why I started blogging

April 28th, 2010

I didn’t want to write things 50 times, but I didn’t want to leave folks out either. Or overwhelm my busier friends. With blogging, everyone can choose how closely they follow my life, or not, as the case may be. You have the power! ;)

1. Email is inefficient.

Email is one-to-one communication and social networks one-to-many communication. (Here’s a good link about that.) If you have something meaningful or thoughtful to say, why not say it to many people? It would mean that more people share ideas and more people understand your way of thinking. Also, there are so many pieces of our life that we tell at different times to different people. Why not just say it once? We all have email overload: we parse our messages into 40 one-to-one messages instead of just a single one-to-many message.

Saw this bouncing along as it was returning from Picnic Day on Saturday, but didn't get a photo, so here's one I found on flickr: http://www.flickr.com/photos/27047646@N00/3897306076/

Pulled way too many weeds in the morning, then had lunch at Chuy's (nachos don't have nearly enough cheese, but quesadilla was great) and sat outside next to the awesome smelling jasmine, then birthday party in Sac with good friends and good food!

These really are some of the cutest kittens I’ve seen in ages… and I read Cute Overload and Daily Squee regularly.

  • Why to do most computing on a Windows standard account http://bit.ly/cot2UN #
  • Grr, I cut that down to make the link fit…. and it still shrunk the link anyway… gotta go find how to turn that setting off. #
  • And…. no way to turn off using bit.ly, so I'm done with posting links via Twitter. Will have to use email or Google Docs or something. #
