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.
Too many mugs, there’s always too many mugs. Back in for the last early of the week and then we have 4 lates before the bliss of 4 days off. Ash is away this week so Lib’ll step up.
What I should be doing… busy day off, all sorts of financial chicanery involves a trip to Wigan. A coffee in the former WH Smiths, nip to the GPs on herself’s behalf and a devil’s haircut. Pint with herself.
A plant that’s trying early start to the day with the end of the earlies.
A snack I didn’t share.
Last of the days off, finally complete the form that has been plaguing me. Whole list of things to do from herself, so I ran round with the yodelling hoover, cooked a lasagne, took a dress round to Joan, glued the dressing table together, hung the washing and dealt with the ants outside.
Found it like this… after a couple of hours in the oven. Fathers day apparently, card sent to the ‘rents. Cal wishes me a happy fathers day and Stephen and Ryan supply beer and chocolate. C supplies beer. All of it is much appreciated.
An object out of place
Oopsie daisy … it’s Friday the 13th.
