Planning goals

So I stopped using my hPDA. I've gone back to using google calendar and docs which means less paper generated that has no where to go. I'll always carry a notepad around for ideas though :)

The work planner is going well, but I need to makes some changes for it to really work for me. I find that the hourly scale doesn't work well because when I can't fill in a half hour I feel a lot of guilt and anxeity :P I'll be focusing on how to improve it this week.

So, moving forward. Alex and I are going to take a weekend next month to plan the rest of the year. We'll be removing ourselves from the world (no phones or interwebs) and focusing on ourselves. I'm very excited about it :D

Walking: new post, new glasses

I guess I'm trying to revamp this blog and hold myself to a posting regimen. So, I'm adding a walking post every Monday when I walk on my lunch hour.

I got new glasses this weekend. These are great for two reasons: they help me see and they're purple. My eyes hadn't changed too much but with the amount of monitor staring I do in a day any improvement helps.

I'll be updating on some of my previous goal, planning posts soon.

Following: AONC

I was reading an article on the Art of Non-Conformity the other day and it was talking about how important it is to follow someone or something. Everyone wants to be a leader these days, and well being a follower is pretty much the opposite of that prestigious title. But, you need to follow people sometimes if you ever want to lead. Good listening was drilled into our heads in grade school but it's seems to be something a lot of us forget.

So I'm going to start following. Starting today I'm going to post weekly about someone or something I've been following :)

AONC is the first. I've become addicted to Chris' writing and how it make me think "yeah, that's the way it's supposed to be!" I think the site is great for anyone who experiencing a low point in their life whether it's because you're too wrapped up in what you can't do.

Because AONC will show you that yes you can. You just have to start re-training that little head of yours :)

So go check it out!

Best belt ever!

I love this belt. I don't care if it came from an 'old lady' store it is awesomeness incarnate.

Too bad its splendor goes unnoticed in an engineering office.

Want: LUSH

It's been lurking in the depths of my subconscious occansionally surfacing but because it has no physical presence here I've been able to resist. Until this weekend when a friend happened to mention the word 'LUSH' and my brain perked up and had a mini freak out. "Someone who loves LUSH? Here? In the wastelands of North America? Eeee!"

So she gave me a few samples she wasn't going to use and now I NEED LUSH.

But where to start? There are so many things I want and so little budget to get them with.

I want Therapy, Snap the Whip, Karma Bubble Bar, Bathos Bubble Bar . . . I could go on and on.

Life

Changes.

Can you guess what I took a picture of with my crappy phone camera?

My desk is grey

In case you were wildly curious :P

I'm going to be buying a new desk soon for the home workspace. I'm thinking something a little fun might be nice.

At the least I'll go for white.

Contrast between home and work is good.
