Hello
I have a ton to do. so I need to start now
1. make list of areas 2. go through, and reorganize. 3. start labeling 4. tables 5. mb from h 6. ....clths well, that will be a good start
Which works better- long or short lists?
Short lists feel less overwhelming but with long lists I don't feel like I'm forgetting so much. I keep a longer list on paper and on the desktop to pull from but, so far, that created an out of sight, out of mind situation. I'll see how this goes...
SATURDAY/ SUNDAY/ MONDAY (and beyond?)
re: long or short
I vote for short!
I like to have a list just for today, but I also keep a running list of everything I need to do in Remember the Milk, but you could keep the "long" list anywhere as long as it's a trusted system that you review on a regular basis.

3:28 PM: Not feeling great today. Having focus issues, as usual. Looking forward to spending most of the evening with the kids, though, so I want to get some work done first.
Goal 1: 3:45 - 5:15 PM: 2 complicated cases. I need to get these finished. Any spare time I will use to catch up on short caes.
Back to report.
5:44 PM: Completed all I could of both. Some followup will be needed Monday. Did not have time to work on short cases, but there's always tomorrow.

Mostly fun today. Planning to go tubing with the kids. I do need to spend some time practicing, because this three hour show tomorrow is looming in a very scary way. I have to learn one new cover song, rewrite one of my originals, and polish four more songs that I know more or less. All this while entertaining kids and being gone most of the day. Better get to it. Thanks for being here. Hope you're all well. Scribbler

Other tasks are:
*ckit reading (+ type up what I learned)
*Outline of prelim expts
*Backups*Ref mgmt, deal w/ email
I have about 1hr 45 min to work now, then I'm going to lunch w/ a friend at 1, then I'm going to stop by goodbye party for summer student, then go back to lab.
OK, going to start by trying to figure out what's wrong w/ QC script.
