2 To-Do Lists is Either 1 Too Many or 8 Too Few

1/3/2016

The job has been non-stop for the past month. I have had, I think, 4 days off. As of today, because of behind-the-scenes reasons, I am now a full-time lecturer, rather than a .8. This means that I will now be paid for the Mondays that I work, which I worked anyway but that were my 'day off.' I spend a lot of time of email. A LOT. I also spend a lot of time in meetings. And organizing meetings. And tracking down information. And tracking down people. And answering questions from my students. And filling out paperwork. 

For years now I have kept a day-planner, one of those larger ones, the size of a piece of copy paper, with each week taking up a spread and each day showing the hours from 8am-8pm. I had this wild idea that I needed a new, updated tracking system to go with my new job. So I got a new journal and watched the video for the Bullet system. I think I did it for about a day. I just missed the old book--where I could SEE at a glance when I had meetings and classes and etc. But the new book has an index, and I can write whatever I need in it: lists, addresses, ideas, notes. So my planners have decided to shack up. They're not getting married: too old-fashioned of an idea. But they co-habitate in my backpack (I need a new one of those: deets to come--I'm in the market for a leather one that looks like Indiana Jones would've owned it). The big silver planner has my daily appointments listed; the little turquoise one has all of the notes and stuff I CANNOT LOSE in it. Work schedule SORTED!

Now if only I can get my life sorted. To get started, I made an index entry in the turquoise book and called in Life To-Do. It's nearly full already. First up: quit the gym (because the 3-hour block of time it takes is just not happening with my new schedule) and buy a rowing machine. Having disposable income is nice! 

Also on the list: 
Sort a pair of stories to self pub via Amazon KDP
Finish dealing with my new visa (the immigration kind, not the credit kind)
Do my taxes (ugh)
Schedule a holiday!

Here, have a nice photo taken at Fenton House, London, in April 2011.
