Oh, and Astrid will nag you. And it has this awesome thing where you can set up a task to recur after you've completed it, not just after you were scheduled to do it. Like, I need to shred on a regular basis, but once I've shredded it'll be a few days before I need to do it again. So with my old task lists, I would schedule it every couple of days. But then I wouldn't actually get 'round to it, so when I finally did and checked it off, there would be, like, three weeks of Shred! Shred! Shred! to check off when I really only did it the once. With Astrid I can be late, but then finally do it and then it will prompt me three days after that. Which is awesome.
But it's a phone app, not a computer program. I mean, it's a program....okay, I will cut off the pedantry there.
Trader Joe's new product alert: dark chocolate bar filled with speculoos. I got one at lunch (for Tim, since I assume speculoos, being made from cookies, is not gluten free [I will, however, try a bite]).
Lunch: a bowl of Bacon, Cheese, and Beer soup from Whole Foods.
OOOOH. I will have to look for that (once my Trader Joe's gets restocked from the ice storm we're having)
Lunch: a bowl of Bacon, Cheese, and Beer soup from Whole Foods.
I want THAT. Wow, that sounds amazing.
Yeah, ice storm. Tho' here in the Greenwood lowlands, it's pretty much snow. Lots and lots of snow. Pete says it's the snow demons honoring my Mom's memory, which is a nice thought.
I guess I should try Astrid. I'm always turned off by any app that wants me to share. Also, I'd have to keep my phone in front of me. These days the cool kids are not designing for people who sit at home at a desktop all day.
I have looked in Lifehacker extensively, and mainly came away with a reminder of how much I loathe the current layout. The problem is that all the programs want to do everything. I use Evernote, but it doesn't have easy reminders. I have a time tracker I like, but I don't want to schedule every moment of the day, although it may come to that.
any app that wants me to share
Share what with who? I've been using Astrid for a few months, and it's doesn't want me to share anything that I can think of. I mean, other than my tasks, with it, which seems within default purview.
[link] is less disgusting. But I suspect, from my conversations with support, it's not long for this world.
Whoa. The Feds just shut down Megaupload.
The heat is on.
Okay, the consultants sent back their visit finding document, and they've used documentation I created during the engagement to present to my boss as one of their sources. No one's going to recognise that but me, but come on! Of course I'm going to read it.
I know mirroring is prime NLP and PUA material, but, hello.
