In the flood of confessions of certain FLOSS heads this week- I must complacently add mine to the record. I have become extremely lazy in all that I enterprise lately. Perhaps it’s the weather, or just in my nature to do so. This state has been festering for a while now, I suppose-so maybe it’s the latter. When I started this blog, my action was the right thing for the right reasons, learn by doing! The plan was to write more blog-posts on subjects I love and care for,and learn to use correct American English in the process. First, things set of sailing on a breeze, then slowly down the line I wrote less and less. Writing seemed too much a drag on my time, a real shame. I would spend my free time playing about with stuff on the net, my comfy desk-chair as my plush couch and the monitor a T.V screen to watch the web show pass-by. Oh yeah, I do a bit of admin work also for a school -from the same comfy chair.
It’s so easy getting sidetracked these day’s being connected to the rest of humanity. Dramas unfold before your eyes. Some horrid and vile, like a M age’s summoning of some netherworld demonic beast. Oh wait, that’s when I’m playing Magic, see how easy I’m distracted, look shiny……
Anyway long introduction to a simple little post with the subject, get organized you fool!!!
So, I did organize my goals a little for the near future. Thinking a month ahead at a time, I laid out what I wanted to learn or revise. There is a nice little tool in Gnome called Getting Things Gnome, GTG for short. I know many folks out here reading this will argue, it’s a waste of time to make to-do lists. M eh
It’s a waste of time wasting time getting distracted from the task at hand, I’d rather spend an hour planning the next month in what Andy Hunt coins the Pragmatic Investment Plan, than googly mooking a perfectly good day away, again. A little discipline, and a plan will go along way.
