Checking In, Hope All Is Well

Just posting to keep the habit.  All is well on my side, hope the same for you.  My parents will be coming down by August and my kids had a great day today.  I made some big steps in my life organization phase.  My house is still looking good.  Jessica learned this dance to MIMS “This is why I’m hot” at hip hop class tonight, and she looks like she should be in a video.  She also had a big audition today, so hopefully she’ll get the part and be busy all day Wednesday :)

Me, I’m really just embracing all the good around me.  So, from me to you, take a minute and smell the Cognac (hat tip Phil Leotardo).

Strong Urge To Organize and Simplify part 2.5

Midnight Blue’s Inbox doesn’t even stay open long enough for me to create a task. It crashes non stop for any action. But, it does remind me that I am using a trial version and that I REALLY should go ahead and buy a license. This product is dead in the water. So, I reverted to Kinkless, and I actually like it a great deal. Especially since I love outliners,and it’s just some AppleScripts that add onto Omni Outliner Pro. I’ve been looking at OmniPlan recently as well, just as a compliment to Kinkless for my management of projects beyond the resource of me. I really hope OmniFocus turns out well.
I’m realizing more time is passing since the last time I’ve written production code, and I am spending a ton of time focused on project, action and productivity management. Things change.

Vote For Trees

Today, dear friends, is Arbor Day.  I think we all agree that the world needs to do all it can to work towards a more sustainable human existence with a serious effort to be better stewards of the environment.  With that, I invite you to join me in the one day campaign for Trees.  Today, make your vote heard and plant a tree on Emma.  Do it now.  It takes two clicks.  Can’t make treehugging any easier than that.

Strong Urge To Organize and Simplify part 2

After my first post on trying to get more organized and have things simplified, I got some input from Dave Delaney, which was helpful. I did begin to use Gmail to sync my iCal and that did help my wife stay more in touch with what I was doing. However it didn’t help much with my own simplification. I am more and more interested in managing my life in project form, so things at work and home have a very similar process and I don’t lose traction switching gears. I started on a hunt for tools and after some searching came across DayLite by seeing MarketCircle on an email from Apple on WWDC.
