26th June Unread books that deserve better
Unread 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:
- Capture: Collect all open loops, commitments, and ideas in a designated system, like a notebook or to-do list app.
- Clarify: Process each captured item to determine if it’s actionable. If not, archive, delegate, or trash it.
- Organize: Arrange actionable items into relevant categories like projects, next actions, calendar, waiting for, and someday/maybe lists.
- Reflect: Regularly review your system to ensure it remains current and relevant, and to identify priorities.
- Engage: Execute tasks based on your current context, using the organized system to guide your actions.

A masterpiece (sarcasm) – a festival of crisps, left field and potentially brilliant and awful at the same time.
A plant that’s trying early start to the day with the end of the earlies.
Oopsie daisy … it’s Friday the 13th.
The laundry I ignored… on a day off. Catch up on sleep, do a bit of housework.
Something square, much debate about this one, ended up with a light at work. Another couple of HBB, what the fuck is going on?
In my hand, a post work pint, keeping the spirit of Nick Lamb alive! So a weird day, yesterday we get told that we’re due in at 11, this morning a panicky message at 9.00 that we need to be like yesterday. On the plus side the day went well, a couple of HBB and good conversion.
Calm and it’s back to work. Bus is late which stresses the fuck out of me. In the end it all worked out was third in with Kat. A better day but still a shite week.
Doorway to No.4, second day off. Little light shopping, little cooking (some scones and a morrocan chickpea and chicken stew). Not the greatest day, required loperamide.
Starts with T, the tiny toes of Elsie! First of two days off. Start the day fetching chicken and salad from the chicken shop. Grab breakfast at Hels Kitchen. Fetch gloss paint and a brush. Back home and paint the window sills and steps.
