What’s this even for?

June 30th What’s this even for?

What’s this even for?What’s this even for?  Yep, that item you add to a Temu order to get the free postage! So experiment with the notion of speech to text as a form of blogging. It’s a short cut that requires an edit! Been up to the doctors to sort out meds, there is no 45mg pioglitazone, but there are some 30mg tablets. Seems a bit much that I have to inform them…. It’s things that they don’t seem to be getting right at the moment. It’s a Brexit benefit that I get to thoroughly enjoy.

Meanwhile Amazon have been busy delivering kit.  Roll on the main event!

Unread books that deserve better

26th June Unread books that deserve better

Unread books that deserve betterUnread books that deserve better – Hurricane bought in desperation because I was out and about with nothing to read the other day. The Home Recording Handbook is the latest Newell, a fabulous and easy read that I’m digesting a chapter at a time.

Day one of Remember The Milk in anger and it proves useful, a busy day with lots to do and breaking it down an element at a time helps.  Need to reread my way round GTD though.

The GTD method involves five key steps:
  1. Capture: Collect all open loops, commitments, and ideas in a designated system, like a notebook or to-do list app.
  2. Clarify: Process each captured item to determine if it’s actionable. If not, archive, delegate, or trash it.
  3. Organize: Arrange actionable items into relevant categories like projects, next actions, calendar, waiting for, and someday/maybe lists.
  4. Reflect: Regularly review your system to ensure it remains current and relevant, and to identify priorities.
  5. Engage: Execute tasks based on your current context, using the organized system to guide your actions.
