I haven’t posted in a while. Life has been good. Busy. Fun. Stressful. Busy.
Today has been a particularly productive day at work though. I’ve spent most of the afternoon organizing my life using the Getting Things Done model through Google Notebook. GTD is like a checklisting system on steroids and for someone who has written lists compulsively for the past, oh 10 years, this thing gets me REALLY excited. I actually took the workshop sometime last year and back then, there just wasn’t a smooth enough online tool that could satisfy the way I like to do things. Of course, it’s easy to use some paper and pens but I live in a browser most of the day and night and Google Notebook is actually my dream come true for listmania!
I’ve organized my life into actionable items, projects, someday/maybes, goals and all sorts of lists from travel checklists to favorite quotes! The OCD organizational freak in me is drooling with glee! And I was actually able to check off a whole bunch of random urgent issues today! Deleting them from my online list was so satisfying, I gave myself a few minutes of play time on Google Reader as a reward. I am OBSESSED with Google Reader. I feel smarter everyday because I am so wide and well read about random celebrity gossip, tech gadgets, politics, photography news, world news etc etc etc.
With no bias whatsoever, I really do have to proclaim that I heart GOOG. I am the poster child for GOOG evangelism.
