Working Together

Got some great book ideas in the comments on the last post. Thanks! I got a copy of Time Management from the Inside Out, Julie Morgenstern from the library today. I loved her Organizing from the Inside Out and this looks good too. I ordered this planner. Ha! See what happens to the criminally disorderly? They get the sale price!

7 Habits looks like a winner as well and i know the library has it. Now I just need Stewie to come around and make me read these books so I can get back to the good stuff, like "Smelling the Flowers".

Of course, the tug to read Nature Inspired by Tracie Lynn Huskamp, is might strong. It's  a lovely book, full of ideas, techniques and projects. More about that and Tracie and her book later!

Comment Conversation

Oh man! I love reading your comments. You all are so great: honest, real and funny! Here are some responses. Do you read the comments? There is some great stuff in there.

For you folks who are worrying that Stewie will get the upper hand in my time organization project, don't. I'm progressing slowly. I made a list of things I do each week such as blog, paint, sew, class prep, paint ;).

I've made up an index card for each task. In some cases, I've made up more than one card - as many cards as I want/need to do that task in a week. I'm not sure what to do next, though. A big board? A really big board? As to my lending Stewie out ... embrace your own inner Stewie (he's the guy with the pocket protector).

To Anon. in Pittsburgh. No plans to teach in your 'hood this year but would be happy to travel your way! I've got some great classes and venues coming up (more info to follow on VA, CA, CT and WA)

To Mary and others who are have trouble getting started lately: Yeah, me too. Do you have any ways that get you moving? I like to do simple rhythmic crafts. Right now, handsewing is very good. Papercutting is very good. Anything to keep me moving forward. Still making little felt hearts. Best of all? Just painting papers. Splashing around some watercolors, drawing designs on them with pencil.
