timeliness

100 Days left in 2008.
13 Weeks.

Not a lot of time to get things done. A good deadline though.

So what do I want to do with my life? A few goals:
- Write a book
- Run a marathon
- 100 pushups in a row
- 20 pullups/chinups
- Read 100 books for 2008 (I've read 45)
- Replace windows

I can't do all of them in 100 days, but I am going to see how many I can accomplish.

not much of a ressurection

So on the 5th I posted I was restarting a writing habit. On the 16th I post my next post. Not too good on building a habit :)

spending my team reading and thinking and working. Any other freecycles got to Z and A.

Lots going on, trying to make some space to think and it really isn't working too well. So much more to do and see and learn and apply.

Ressurecting a writing habit.

I was pretty good for three months, and now I need to get the groove back. Most of my habits fall in and out of 3 month cycles. It is something I vaguely notice and comes in handy to reinforce to myself that I can pick something up again.

finding a new groove

A few days off does a world of good to getting one's mind in place.

Prioritizing comes much easier. As does thinking about the big pictures. Been down in the weeds a bit too long, and starting to realize that now. Looking at the bigger plan is easier with a little bit of perspective.

Looking to make all kinds of progress this week both on work and personal fronts. Actually having the drive to get some house work done. Need to get the house prepped for the party. T-minus 27 days at this point. Or something like that :)

Lots to do, which is always exciting :)

Wow

It has been many a day since I last posted! I'm no sure where all the time went, some went well some went poorly, some with sickness and some with health. A lot spent working but a bit on playing and balancing. Not enough on the last two but I'm working at it. Also got some reading done which has been wonderful. A variety of selections including a new Destroyer Novel, David Gunn's new novel, "Why French Women don't Get Fat", "Never Eat Alone" and "Man's Search For Meaning". All good reads with interesting headstreaching. Ok not so much with the novels but variety is goodness. There are a few other bits swimming around now in my head. Looking for the best ways to take advantage of them.

I had Friday off for A's Birthday which was goodness. Got some time to relax and enjoy and cater to A for Mom's Fest 2008. I think I need to spend a bit more time catering to my girls, I had a blast doing it and it was a truely relaxing time. We got some shopping and grilling in yesterday, even though we had a no-nap day for Z.

Thinking and mixing ideas from what I've been reading this week. Lots more to explore and read and I'm once again by the idea of extracting ideas from Print. Sometimes it goes away, but I love it when it all comes back!

Prioritizing my reading

I have at any given time, a good stack of books to work through. I enjoy reading, and my subject matter has grown wider over time. But the question quickly becomes what to read first? Thinking about it tonight, I decided it all depends on my goal. There is a lot of material I want to cover, and not a lot of time available. I can at least think about what goals I want to reach and pick up something that matches that particular goal.

That said I got a nice haul from halfprice this week. A few business, personal development, investing and at least one fun read. Finding fiction is getting hard for me. I should really try and find more to try. That said, I'm finding lots of nonfiction that I find interesting that I enjoy digging into. Too much to learn and to experiment with. Just got to keep moving forward with what I can.

falling

behind or in line, I'm not really sure. Bouncing off of a couple of different priorities. I spent a bit too much time working Project A, but I think it is paying off. I need to balance out a bit and try and hit some of my other technical areas. I want to go back to my Project Zero Project and try it out on the Mac, but I've been a bit distracted. Haven't touched Quoteurltext, even though I got a really nice suggestion from a user who found me on FB.

I really need to figure out how I can implement a community for that plugin. Perhaps I can build one on Ning? Or host one on my own site. I like the idea of trying a community site. Maybe I will build it locally. Use PHPBoard or something similar.

Reading some interesting material on networking. Thinking about how to apply it.
