Deadlines

Recently I took a different approach to my problem of "too many things to do" by not worrying and doing what I feel like no matter how many things I start out on.

That wasn't working. The projects grew tentacles and those tentacles grew tentacles.

Now I would like to pull back a bit and try different projects, but only one thing (mix, minature, review) per project. I'm sure there will be overlaps but I need to pare it down to this kind of focus.

I also need to set a deadline. It's typical to dread deadlines but I'm realizing that I am able to focus and work better with a deadline even if I procrastinate.

I am the walrus

Taken off northeast Greenland, the picture of a walrus feeding on clams wins Goran Ehlme of Sweden the prize of Shell Wildlife Photographer of the Year 2006.

detune and deblur

Maybe it's time to discover some slower songs. ..

I've been getting upset easily at work, a short fuse, and frustrated about my lack of progress in my life.

I should cut back on the drinking. I should excercise. I should focus better.

Later...
ok, I sweeped my cubicle desk in one big arc and started clearing my thoughts. That's much better.
