I have recently been taking a bit of a self-enforced sabbatical from my creative endeavours to sort out the bit of my life that actually brings in the cash - the boring, day job side.

They were right. I now see where I'm going wrong. From now on, I'm going to cut right down on the baby sloth videos. Sorted.

ReplyDeleteGreat insights.
ReplyDeleteIf you’d like a tool for managing your time and projects, you can use this web-application inspired by David Allen’s GTD:
http://www.Gtdagenda.com
You can use it to manage your goals, projects and tasks, set next actions and contexts, use checklists, and a calendar.
Syncs with Evernote and Google Calendar, and also comes with mobile version, and Android and iPhone apps.
Steady on there... That's a bit too close to Actual Organisation. If you carry on like this you may even be able to have a full time business (watching baby sloth videos all day?!!)
