Rain today and Sun tomorrow

That should bring the snow piles down a bit.

Tomorrow is the Super Bowl. I have to forage for those items that we usual eat while watching the big game. We have it down to a ritual almost. Peter watched the commercials and I watch the game.

I have been reading a lot about organization and project management recently. I guess trying to get my brain to sort out thing so I am not in a state of panic about all I have to do. I can be very organized but it is usually work related not personal projects. I need to get my personal projects in order.

Today is a combination of errands and dress making for Caroline with the side order of Tunic making for Ariel. I also need to get my supplies for the other project for Ariel which is going to take a bit of work.

Peter has been playing Epic Mickey off and on. We have gotten to the Haunted House portion of the adventure. I love the Haunted House so much. Peter’s favorite boss fight was Pete-tronic so far.

So a pretty quiet Saturday for us which is nice.

I am grateful for not waking up to more snow on the ground.

You and I are both studying up on organization. Have you found any particularly helpful material - standouts?

Flow by Mihaly Csikszentmihaly is a very interesting read and made me rethink some of my ways of doing things.

A Whole New Mind and Drive by Daniel Pink again different ways of looking at problems and solutions.

Getting Things Done by David Allen (which I take with a grain of salt. Parts feel like a sales tool for his seminars but there are good ideas over all)

31 words to Create an Organized life by Marcia Mager
