Finding out that Grandma’s still alright apart from the meds. I really hope she gets well soon.
Getting my email inboxes to zero! After over 2000 emails, it feels good actually. The only one left to tackle is the club email. It’s technically not under my discretion or responsibility yet but as soon as I get my hands on it, I’ll scrub its inbox clean.
Spending the whole day with mum at the mall. My feet were aching all over.
Doing a test run of the oPod before I start on the actual one tomorrow.
It’s 3:55am and I’ve got a long day ahead. My body is aching, the flu is coming on and I am terribly exhausted but the silver lining of getting some things done and some time with mum overtakes them all.
Getting index cards for my gtd implementation. I went to all the stationery stores and some gift shops at this mall, several times in fact, to compare prices, sizes and whatnot.
The friendly cashiers, shop attendant and security guard. Getting smiles in return sure brightens it up.
The good news that grandma's illness is not in the serious stage (hopefully never) and she got discharged today. Although she's still being monitored and undergoing some medication, it's a great relief knowing she'll be fine. Was terribly upset the whole day when I got the dreadful news last night. Grandma's the source of my endorphins :)
I suppose all of us could see beyond the stars. We somehow knew she is going to be just fine. Tomorrow's going to be a brighter day.
I finally completed GTD by David Allen but I have a feeling that I will be re-reading some of the chapters over and over (as many other gtd-ers did/still do). It's a good book really. Those of you wanting to get organized or be productive, grab a copy ;)
Attempting (since I've not completed) to get my email inboxes to zero. I still have over 400 emails to go. Today, I just found out about a prank a friend pulled on me, using my email add for some crush calculating web and the email was dated 2 years ago! It's embarassing that I have so much mess that I knew not of it's existence.
Finally completing my reading on the gtd book.
Comedies!
It's 4.28am and I've to be up in about 3 hours but I'm glad that I've cleared some things off my inboxes.
Setting up my Tickler file! After viewing over a hundred pictures of gtd tools, I finally decided on something that I am going to use and probably experiment with to see how it adopts.
Buying colourful notepads in different sizes. I'd list stationery shopping but I still can't believe that store doesn't sell index cards.
Dinner with the family and the dessert after.
Driving at night.
My weekend was not filled with gtd but more of the tools of gtd. I'd better be quick if I want to get things done!
A few web sources on gtd tools. I really needed pictures, testimonials, criticisms and comparisons. I am glad there are references to give me a clearer vision on the specified tools and the system in general. Found some good sites and they kept me up till 4. Will go through more later in the day.
Fruit flavoured candy.
Lunch with parents.
The long needed nap.
I didn't spend all day on gtd, it was only after dinner. To be honest, gtd is all I could think about now, apart from sleep (it's 4.27am). I'd probably need my dose of weekend fun before monday comes along.
Finally watching this movie with the sibling. The day they spoke of his tragic death, I knew I had to watch it. Although, I don't quite fancy Batman, I can't believe how good it is. Even the uncivilized chatterboxes behind me could not take the fun out of it.
Receiving my offer letter from uni! :) Now, all it takes to keep me in are my results.
Ice-cream for dinner with the sibling. No kidding, that was what we only ate. Mum didn't like that much.
Buying folders for my gtd tools. There's something about folders that interests me. Btw, I'm still not done shopping for folders hehehe..
The simple yet fun enviroment the underlings pulled off during the meeting I had to oversee.
Driving during the night when it feels serene.
I actually like spending fridays with the sibling. I am secretly hoping dad has long meetings every friday so that I could do this more often!
Going through some of the gtd concepts. (Finally!) It was pretty exciting at first but now that I'm somewhere in the middle of it all, it's overwhelming.
A bit of online games.
The dinner mum made. It had such a home-cooked taste to it.
Comedies.
It's 3.12am and I have a long day ahead. Well, there's a price to pay for being unorganized. I am actually looking forward to a new day to get things done.
Listening to punk rock all day.
Online games.
Comedies.
I need to get back on track. The whole break thing is turning into procrastination.
From the sidebar:

Going along with Lewis Carroll's Alice's Adventures in Wonderland. There is one more of his books that I want to read but I can't find it.
