Update

Hey guys,

Feel like I've let you down with the regular updates thing.  I'm gonna try and get back to at least once a week.  

First of all, my updated goal sheet:

Version:1.0 StartHTML:0000000168 EndHTML:0000006527 StartFragment:0000000471 EndFragment:0000006510

You have 225 Days to Change Your Life


-Become More Productive

HAVE TIME FOR YOURSELF

-Four hours of focused work 5/7 days for 1 week

-Checklists and 80/20 analysis of all my home tasks

-Checklists and 80/20 analysis of all my school tasks


-Become “Over Organized”

NEVER WORRY ABOUT LOSING ANYTHING AGAIN

-Go 30 days straight without misplacing anything

-”A Place for Everything and Everything in It's Place”

-Absolutely no clutter in any area


-Take Advantage of the Unique Opportunity

TRAVEL, FUN, ADVENTURE, EXCITEMENT, and GROWTH

-Fly to LA to visit sister and friends

-Buy a digital video camera

-Go skydiving

-Learn Microexpressions


Are you inventing things to do to avoid the important?



ACT NOW.

Secondly, what I've been up to:

1. Getting Things done is succesfully implemented for the last few weeks and i've been keeping it up very well, it's super helpful.  I've been constantly rereading it along with four hour work week to make sure I don't start to forget the principles.

2.Been promoting my magic shit, trying to get a decent amount of shows done.

3. Trying to get a better job besides the movie theater.

4.I ordered The Organizing Sourcebook by Kathy Wadhill, and Organizing from the Inside Out by Julie Morgenstien, which were as far as I could tell from reviews and questions sent to experts, the top two books for beginning organizers out there.  They should be here in a few days, at which point I'll start implementing them systematically, and keeping you guys updated along the way.

I know, you're thrilled to be able to get an inside look at how I organize ever mundane detail of my life.

Me too!

    i do enjoy seeing you organize the mundane detail of your life.

    a book to check out is The Power of Less by Leo Babauta. This guy writes a great blog called Zen Habits.

  2. Yeah, IvanPerez from RSDnation has been doing some great stuff with that book, and Tim Ferris over at the Four hour work week blog has some great stuff to say about Leo Babuta as well.

    After I'm done with these two organizing books, my guess is I'm gonna wanna look a bit at the productivity side of things (probably looking at The Now Habit and Time Power).

    After that, I might swing back to some of the organization stuff and take a look at Babauta's book.
