Today I wrote a list of things To Do. Then I went to save it on my desktop as a file called TO DO. The computer said, 'there is already a file called TO DO would you like to erase it?' So I opted to call it TO DO 2. 'There is already a file called TO DO 2 would you like to erase it?'
So now I have 3 TO DO lists.
We were talking today about how we're pretty busy right now. There are some great projects coming up which I'll be able to tell you about soon. Including one very exciting announcement.
All of which is good, very good. And bad, you know, in that lots of To Do lists way. But as I said here, just over two years ago, always remember when you're busy, that it's infinitely preferable to not being busy. Infinitely preferable.
There. A whole post without saying "current climate" once.
I don't keep To Do lists because if I did, I'd spend more time writing To Do lists than actually doing the work on the list.

I think something in-between is best. I spent most of February twiddling my thumbs, now I'm loosing sleep over how much work I have to do...

Hi Ben
I use remember the milk http://www.rememberthemilk.com/ for my to-do's, no more paper lists for me, I'm totally digital.
Great blog by the way, I always enjoy reading your posts.

Just a note to Dave - There is no such word as "in-between". It's simply "between". A minor erk of mine. :)
