Scribble World Question of the week

September 17, 2009 on 8:57 pm | In General | 3 Comments

Been thinking of making something called a WAPI for developing nations or the outback in Australia but don’t know if I will have any time because of all the homework.

I’ve been using a timer lately-where I tell myself I’ll only work on something for one hour—but then it beeps and I’ll, of course, be in the middle of something-so I’ll keep going and next thing I know, another hour’s gone by, and I’m still not ready to put it aside, but it’s finally something like hunger or exhaustion that tears me away…and then I start to remember all the other stuff I wanted to do as I start to drift off to sleep… oh not again!
I’ve also tried putting post-it notes up on the walls with things I want to get around to doing, but after a week or so, they just start blurring in with the background—and Chris once suggested I write everything that I want to do down and put it in a cup and then whichever one I choose, make that the priority for the day..so I did that for a day or two, that cup’s still sitting around this jumble somewhere…

Scribble World Question of the week: Anyone have a time management tip that works?

Wow I am sick today. Haven’t had that happen for a while. Maybe its the stress of going back to school.
At least I have Chris to be nice and give me some of his treasured Puffs Vicks plus lotion kleenex-probably the best tissues ever invented–they were discontinued, so when they’re gone they’re gone.
He also gave me some sore throat lozenges that he brought back from Australia called Strepsils. They are Eucalyptus & Menthol flavored, antibacterial, and help clear the nose.
