List-lovers, look at this new toy I’ve just found. To-do lists, project breakdown, filtering for where you accomplish it…

The internet offers so many ways for MBTI P’s to try to live like J’s. The trouble is the sheer volume of them lets you start again and again, with more and more organizational systems running.

Just to prove my ingrained P-ishness (which has been doubted recently), I currently have:

1. one paper diary (down from three)
2. two electric diaries (dormant, but not forgotten)
3. one splendid paper to-do list
4. one Mac-based to do list
5. several spiral notebooks
6. a computer folder marked ‘ideas’
7. a computer folder marked ‘resources’
8. computer stickies
9. paper stickies
10. and — if I succumb to temptation –a shiny new vitalist.

I confess, making a vitalist is probably not how one should spend a Friday night off… Perhaps I will let Molly coax me to the sofa instead.

 

Power’s back.  Tree looks sad.  I’ll try to cheer him up later once the big saws have gone away.

I highly recommend an evening without electricity.  Molly and I gathered round the camp fire (i.e.  bunch of candles on the table) and enjoyed the lights moving up and down the river.

Lampstands at the ready.

There will be no blogging, no electricity, and no heat at the rectory for the next couple of days while a very old tree gets pruned.

Now, do you suppose there is any chance I will manage to think of everything I need to print off my computer before 8am tomorrow?

update: my greedy laser printer has just asked for another £50 worth of ink. It got fed in Holy Week and had a week off after Easter. I think, despite it’s youth (7 months) and fine pedigree (recommended as small office champion) its days are numbered. A very costly mistake, I fear. Do not repeat it and succumb to an HP. They haven’t improved since the first one I hated all those years ago.

Clocks.
