Done this week (20110103 Mo - 0107 Fr)

( raw notes )

Wow! Where the heck did last week go? You'd think that after getting back from vacation work would drag, but... Could be that I've been sleeping more, i.e. going to bed earlier, with correspondingly less getting done. And that, in turn, is because I've been suffering severe nasal congestion again, which means the occasional dose of diphenhydramine shortly before bedtime. That, or oxygen deprivation...

I did have one good idea over the week: dumping the never-ending but easily-subdivided tasks like decluttering, recording, sorting receipts, and so on into larger buckets (categories), and working on two or three per day for 15 minutes or so each. The hope is that they'll become habits, like laundry and dishes. Also, that when I find myself boredly staring at my to.do file, I'll pull something out of a bucket and work on it instead of just sitting there. I'll be using the tag 15min for posts about the process. (It's a rename of the old decluttering tag 15 minutes.) I will not be tagging done posts unless I actually discuss the process in the narration, but you'll see it used as a prefix in the raw notes.

I got three walks in; the one on Tuesday was particularly pleasant, and somewhat longer than usual. More like the walks I used to take every day, in other words. :( Meanwhile, I've gained quite a lot of weight over the last two weeks or so, pretty much wiping out last year's losses. Grump.

The week's links include some New Year's predictions, a wonderful Goodnight Moon fanfic, and some information about strokes.
