I need an app for this.

I need somebody who can write An App For That, because man, there is a thing I want an app for and I can’t find anything like it on the interwebs. The closest thing I can find are to-do lists and self-discipline apps and life coach apps, none of which really do what I want. It’s something that you could run on your mobile or whatever although what I REALLY need for it is a Smart Wall or something in my house (I guess the tv would do) and it…

work that isn’t writing

I cannot believe it’s the end of August. This summer has been a loss to a much greater degree than expected, and I’m just sort of…I’m getting my feet back under me, at this point.

How To Create An Exhaustive To-Do List

It’s way more fun to throw away other people’s stuff. The thing is, you have to let me…), or if I could give an example of my lists to draw from. I can do that, sure. :) Let’s say you need to Do Something About Your Books. (I reckon this is…

moving house as project management

Yesterday a friend was over and she saw my 20-point Thinks To Do list for the living room and wondered what it was. I explained it was the pre-move to-do list. Not the moving list, just the preparing-to-move list. “…have you ever considered project management?” she wondered. :) (Later she said, “Seriously. All it lacked was timelines and assigned roles & responsibilities, and I could have put it in Microsoft Project.”) Anyway, despite the project management levels of lists lying around I’m feeling entirely unsuccessful in getting anything done. This…
