I have a habit of always making plans of things which, at the moment, sound like something I really should do, because they will like, totally fix my life or something. I have tried a number of websites and apps to track tasks I need to accomplish, and nothing has stuck. All I have are dormant accounts full of tasks I'm never going to do on several task-tracking websites. Instead, I've just started putting fake events on my calendar that are actually a giant todo list. Originally this was only supposed to be limited to important things like "renew license before it expires" but over time, the list has grown. Partly because every time I go on a trip, I think of a hundred things I should do to improve my life, and partly because every month I've been pushing back tasks until the end of the month. Now, my calendar for Feb 1 looks like this (the ... denote tasks with important details in the description):

This list may be ridiculous and stupid, however, if it weren't for this list, I would have forgotten about my book of homeopathic poetry. I so need to make that. Sadly, "wedding planning seating arrangement software" has been sitting around since Owen got married...which was actually before I moved to Seattle.

Several thoughts:
ReplyDelete1. I have tried GQueues.com recently and been pretty pleased with it. High level of Google Integration, basic features (with subtasks) but still some higher end stuff that is useful.
2.
"buy glowing belt
Fake kitten rescue?
fake, female world of warcraft account?"
Why?
3. FTL is awesome, you should try it. Really hard though.
1. i will try it
ReplyDelete2. Well I think the glowing belt speaks for itself sir: http://www.halobelt.com/store.html
The fake kitten rescue...I forget. Either it was for fake pics for profiles, or maybe a fake youtube video? One requirement is the kitten must never be in real danger. Instead, we may do flying kittens! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3oem-M2tQU4
Fake female world of warcraft account...I don't remember. Probably to try to extort money from dudes. I don't remember though.
3. I'll get around to it....
