Doesn't seem a week since I last posted this little guy, but here he is again! Slider is about to leave (as am I - another weekend on my course), and Anouk is still MIA. However, our little band is steadily increasing so hopefully pro won't just be talking to pro this weekend! Come by if you can and give each other encouragement.

And Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting and Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting to our lurkers! :) Come on in and post. You don't get the full benefit until you put these techniques into practice!

TL - BE - 3:30 PM

OK - i'm slacking on this site - but I'm GTD, so alls well.

To Do
finish test and turn in by 10 PM (6 hrs from now)

Gwen Begins Friday

Pant, pant.

Quick list. I will try to break it down.

Open file.
Save As into Mirrored, but differently labeled for new job, Folder with Links
Assess whether chapters are functioning with reflow.

Open folder of paper.
Assess level of changes needed and prioritize them by order of appearance in booklet, back to front (so that reflow isn't a problem)

Begin with the first changes on the pages in the back pages.

Some day soon, you might, after having made the changes, have the luxury of changing design elements like callouts, colors, and page headers.

Thats what you get to do, the fun design stuff, if you finish edits soon.

Okay. Here goes.

Anouk and a week full of stress

Hi everybody,

doesn't seem to be my week. I do not even want to write about it: problems with telephone company, problems with uni (get into classes next semester: too full) and I have to do lots and lots of learning which is difficult if your head is full of other stuff....

But I want to post, so I will get some learning done.... I will tell you later how far I got.

Anouk's CI (1)

I did 1 hour of learning in total. Read my notes and in a book and started a mindmap.
Then I went for a walk with DSO and DDog on which I explained to DSO what I had learned so far.

Now I try to do something for my linguistic exam on Monday before we go to a party.

Anouk's back!!

todayfirst's bookending section

Just scanned yesterday evenings bookends as I'm generally not online in the evening. Way to go on the list yesterday Pro! Looks like you got a number of things out of the way... including some phone calls. I dislike making phone calls. So stinky. Speaking of stinky, looks like Norm is doing strong with stinky, neutral and fun lists. Good job!

Now onto my work day...

Noon update

And here's what I actually did...
- Respond to an email question that popped up 30 min
- Meeting (45 min)
- Discuss a possible purchase with my boss (15 min)
- Program (30 min)
- Pointless discussion with someone who keeps wasting my time... at least I made them indirectly aware of some of my additional responsibities they did not know about, so they may be more understanding why I don't always do anything about the items they bug me about (20 min)
- Meeting (45 min)
- Check some things into source control (10 min)
- Meditate (5 min)

!@#$%. Maybe this is part of why the program takes forever. That leaves the following for this afternoon (that I was going to do this AM). If I get these done, I'll re-evaluate.
- Program 45 min
- Decline invitation for a work party I don't want to go to
- Relax 10 min... set an alarm!
- Respond to that email I've been avoiding

todayfirst at 8:30 AM EST

Mostly I've got one big program to work on... I'll try to split it up with some other stuff, per suggestions from you guys. Here's my plan that should get me pretty close to lunch time, assuming no major interruptions.
- Program 45 min
- Check some things into source safe 10 min
- Meditate 5-10 min
- Program 45 min
- Decline invitation for a work party I don't want to go to
- Relax 10 min... set an alarm!
- Respond to that email I've been avoiding.

1) Stinky: Shopping - I can just ~feel~ myself wanting to put it off! It's gotta be soon though because I'm going this afternoon!
2) Neutral: Make meal, eat, clear up
3) Fun: Bookcrossing inputting. Funny, this was on my 'neutral' list last night and I didn't get to it, and now I really want to do it.

Change of Plan

Did the shopping, made the meal. No time for bookcrossing - DSO is home and we're going to have an afternoon date before I get the train, so I still get to have some fun! I'm taking him to Cafe Nero - they've got veggie treats in there!

See you when I get back. Byeeee!!!

Drat

Didn't get to take DSO to the cafe either, because I needed to do some banking in town first, and there was a big queue. The upshot was, though, that I was still in plenty of time for my train (my ticket was for a specific train at a specific time). Hmm, maybe I should build in a little buffer activity that could be dropped for other times I have an important appointment.
