This post will seem to be a little off target for what I have posted here before since this is not electronic or networking in nature. However, since this is my blog I can set my own rules. I have used the Getting Things Done approach for a number of years, mostly using manual/paper/analog type things to keep track of the mess that is my life. I have since graduated to an on and off use of ToodleDo and Pocket Informant plus notebooks. This morning I pulled up Pocket Informant on my iPad only to discover that I had 37 items that were overdue - time to rethink the problem!! I also discovered a simple "Getting Things Done in 500 Words or Less" post this morning that was outstanding.
I am going to keep using the notebooks that I have always used. The reason for keeping notes in a notebook is that it slows me down enough to really think about the problem - and as a plus it keeps my handwriting up. For a while there my chicken scratching was almost unreadable. This was a far cry from my days as a young engineer in which I had my drafting class lettering fresh in my mind. That was 40 years ago, this is now and with all of the distractions around me I am having problems keeping concentrating on a single subject for very long. So this will be my series of discussions on what I am doing to alleviate the issue.
This is a blog mostly about techie things, what I am doing to my apartment network on the cheap, IOT, 3D Printing, Raspberry Pis, Arduinos, ESP32, ESP8266, Home Automation, Personal Weather Stations, Things That Go Bump in the Night, and some side issues that need discussing. Remember, sometimes the journey to an end is as much fun as the goal achieved!
