I write a monthly column for an education magazine and I've never missed it yet. Yet self imposed ones are almost useless. Talking of computers I had an unexpected chance to clear mine up recently. The hard drive died! EEK! Luckily all my important files were safely backed up online but I lost loads of junk. Can't say I've missed it and it's amazing how much better my iBook is running!

I have managed to get my house somewhat livable but not my work room. I can clear my desk with some effort, but the room itself is getting smaller and smaller with things placed aside for later, and finished work that hasn't been sold yet. And my computer... I can't seem to throw anything away, though I can organize it. I also suffer from being disorganized in my blogging and projects. It's a lifelong trait and existed even when I worked full time. I just had a lot of deadlines that directed where to focus. Without those deadlines I tend to drift... Ah, clutter. I have managed to get my house somewhat livable but not my work room.

Things have been soo much better since I did this. Easy to see where I'm up to and what still needs to be done. Nice to see you here Louise :-) I know to do this with physical stuff but omehow I forgot to apply it to my online projects. Things have been soo much better since I did this.
