Gwen D's Summer Not Quite Madness
I've made progress. Maybe I shouldn't call it Madness anymore. It'd be good to realize that things don't have to reach a "crisis" to be worth doing. That plugging away, nose down, is virtue enough.
ON THE AGENDA FOR TODAY, TOMORROW and MONDAY --- Must be finished by August 18. It's August 7th.
WORK ON ONLINE BOOK
add all new content
make final edits to old content
entering and writing all Blocks I have listed as needed and setting to display contextually
tagging and keywording for taxonomy and tag cloud
entering all contacts into the contact database then working on uploading the csv, or entering each as a node. (Which!?) and creating the searchable directory
begin customizing data tables so that statistics are much more readable, understand your tools
fix the navigation so it lives under the banner
fix the display of the site title as seen in IE on Windows, or choose to only use subtitle and picture the title instead
enable the search module and index the site after all the blocks are done
archive, backup, and upload to make live
user test
edit
OH BOY. I finally wrote it all down. Maybe this IS madness. Do I need help?? A different plan? Can I do this?
MY ORIGINAL GOALS
workstation reliablity (better)
drupal site structure
print book design
content proofing and writing for both
progress report today 8/7-- FINISHED THE BOOK. IT'S AT THE PRINTER!!!
I suppose that's why I wasn't doing the site. The temptation to beat myself up is strong. No time for that! Open the programs! Put pixels down!

Scaling Down
Delusions of grandeur?
Maybe that's why I get stuck.
Today the only real things I can do toward the above stated goals are to maintain my life and take care of things like laundry and floor cleaning.
It's 4pm on a Sunday. A typical mush of a day. I will try to become motivated by beginning to do something.
Patting Self on Back
I look at the tone of my original post and my response to myself and feel compelled to say for the record that in the past two weeks I did get the edited and newly designed book to the printer, as well as have a houseguest and the stomach flu. And other stuff I seem to want to refuse to remember. Also, dear Self, you have been good about home maintenance. So... good job, You. Keep it up. And happy birthday.
Happy Birthday Gwen!
