One thing crossed off

I won’t bore you - at least not yet - about all of my New Years resolutions. One thing I’m trying to do though is have a bit more structure and stay focused more often. Maybe with my combination of todo lists, note databases and constant scheduling and planning (to the point where it’s obviously compulsive) I may be too focused for a normal person, but for me half the fun is in the organization itself.

That’s really sad when I think about it, but I’ll go on…

So as part of the plan I put on my todo list (using Remember the Milk which syncs with my phone) things that I should do every day or every few days as a repeating item. Things like making sure to spend a certain amount of hours working on certain projects and things of that nature. These were all things that I tried to do on a regular basis before, but was never successful at it. I’d go to bed thinking “crap, forgot to do that” or I’d realize a week later that I forgot to take care of something.

All is good with this program if I can keep up with it, but I’m already failing and lagging behind. Right now, I blame it on accidentally waking up at 5:30am today and not being able to get back to sleep. Not only did it make me lethargic all day, all evening I just haven’t felt up to doing much. So there goes my plan for today out the window, and probably the plan for the rest of the week as things pile on top of one another.

Worst part is right now part of me wants to go to bed, but I know if I do, I’ll just wake up early again, and this whole thing will continue.

Oh but on the plus side, I can cross update the blog off my list for today.

Rocketman19.com 2009 Edition

Welcome to the kind-of redesigned Rocketman19.com…

You’ll see the site’s address has changed now, as you’ll be sent to wordpress2 instead of wordpress if you visit the main URL now. The old address will contain all the posts up to today, but for reasons I won’t bother going into I’m not going to bother importing them at this time.

I was going to change the theme and design a little bit, but I wasn’t able to find anything I liked to start with, and I’m not into writing my own Wordpress themes from scratch. Instead I’m sticking with what worked.

I did make some changes to the layout, though. You’ll notice up top that there are tabs to various parts of the site, as well as some changes to the sidebar.

I’ve decided to give up posting to Twitter, and instead will be posting my little quirps only to Facebook. You can see what I’ve been posting on the sidebar under the appropriately named header Facebook. There’s still a little Flickr badge there as well, and on the very top there are some links to the various services I use.

Anyhow, I’ll be working out a few more things over the next few days and should hopefully get back to posting once in a while.
