Lately, I have been trying to get a lot
of things done. There are many computer aids for making todo-lists,
but I had trouble finding one that I could use – and keep up to
date – on all three of my relevant computers. The Any.Do program
came closest for me, but there were still many moments when I needed
to consult, or add to, my “today” list, and I was away from all
my computers.
In desperation, I decided to keep my
action list on a 3” x 5” index card. (That’s what I used to do,
thirty years ago.)
To my surprise, the index card approach
has been effective. Each morning, I write my current list of action
items on a fresh card. Copying previous items gives me an incentive
to close as many items as I can each day. Otherwise, I find myself
copying the same item again and again.
My diet is in disarray, and I think the
reason is that I am finally getting over my long-running sinus
infection. Usually, I lose weight easily when sick and gain it back
when healthy again. This particular bit of good health has snuck up
on me bit by bit, so once again I must knuckle down to control my
weight. Today I weigh 222.0 pounds.
