ExPromQueen had asked about my GTD methods. I’ve been using the GTD Tiddly Wiki to keep track of my projects. It’s client side, not server side, so it’s physically located on my laptop. But I almost always have my laptop with me. There’s a GTD Tiddly Wiki Plus that’s easily transferred to USB, so that…

I got about 2 hours’ worth of work done this morning and am about to head out to the coffee shop to do some more. I’m waiting for my computer battery to charge to at least 85%, which will give me about an hour and a half of time. I am really, really close to…

Today, I plan to finish the chapter from hell. Mr. Geeky is taking the kids to the zoo. I’m taking a few minutes to check in with some blogs and get a cup of coffee into my system and then I’m going to dive in. Yesterday, I reimplemented my GTD system at work and got…

I write a lot about work-family balance, but I think what I really mean when I think about balance is something perhaps more personal and more involved than simply balancing work and family. For one thing, saying work and family implies that those are the only two things that matter and that’s simply not true.…

Or lack of it. I am giving an online presentation today. I’m not nervous about it. I’ve been giving a lot of presentations lately and I have two more, one each in the next two weeks. I’ve gotten fairly good at putting these things together. But it’s been a long road getting to this point.…

It’s true. I worked this morning and I worked this evening and the chapter still isn’t nearly done. I’m only aiming for 15-20 pages as the chapter is kind of a set-up for the next one, but oh well. I’ll get there. It’s just going slower than I want it to. What sucks about my…

Yesterday, I discussed my struggle to write first thing in the morning. My kids have inherited my (and Mr. Geeky’s) struggle to get moving in the morning. I mean, I don’t mind getting up, but I want a couple of hours before my brain has to really kick into gear. That’s one of the reasons…

New Kid had a really funny and thought-provoking post about writing and exercising first thing in the morning. I find it especially amusing given that I, too, hit the snooze this morning and got up at 7:00 instead of 6:00. Thus, I’m catching up on blog reading instead of writing. I did manage to write…

Or at least the potential of sex. Last night, as I was tucking in Geeky Girl, she asked me if I knew what a period was. I said I did and explained that I had one everyone month and that I bled. She asked what she should do if she gets her period in school.…

I had a post written, then went to save it and *poof* it was gone. Oh well. Here’s some random stuff. Recurring dreams about Harrison Ford. We’re dating and yet not physical. I have no idea what’s going on here, but we seem to be serious about each other. It’s weird. Rude drivers in the…
