The Writings on the Wall
I’m a dork. A forgetful, live in the moment, swiss cheese brained dork. And there’s no way around that at all.
Which is why I’ve decided that having a poster up on my wall with a list of things that need to get done on a semi-regular basis might be a good idea. I’ve had success with putting signs on the wall before (”Don’t forget your keys, dumbass” was the best one in both working-ness and cool-ness), so I’m 99% sure that it’ll work.
The problem is figuring out what to put on the poster. Some things like “Go to class” are so common that I don’t think they should take up space. “Make your Winthrop payment” are important, but it doesn’t happen often enough to where I think it needs to be there.
Finding that balance is hard. I’d love to have some ideas for what should go on there. The only thing I know will be there now is “Update GnuCash” because there’s no point in having it if I don’t use it.
Decisions, Decisions
Over at Sapid Existence I play along with something called Photo Story Friday. A bunch of people submit posts that have A) a photo and B) a story to go with it. Rocket science, I know…
Lately though, I’ve been realizing that there are some days where signing in on Friday just can’t happen. I have 1 photo specifically set for the last Friday before I go back to school. When I’ll be going to Charleston to see Springsteen. So I’ve been wrestling with the idea of actually posting my stuff on Thursday, which works because the sign up stuff happens on Thursday evening.
To go along with that, albeit on a much more selfish/evil level, I just want to get my name earlier on the list. There’s nothing making people come back. I always go and look at the blogs that posted before me. I usually come back and look at the ones that posted after me. But I’ll bet that I’m in the minority with that one.
I know, the things that don’t really matter cause me to think and the things that do matter get an almost instantateous decision.
