Overwhelmed

I have got to get organized. All around organized, projects, work, financial, etc. I just can’t seem to figure out where to begin. I’ve tried the Getting Things Done (GTD), Time Management for Sys Admins, all the Moleskine hacks, several web based organizers, digital organizers, and paper based. Currently I am trying to just use 37 Signals’ Backpack and a standard Moleskine. I just can’t seem get in the habit or something, I’m also way too much of a procrastinator.

I’ve been on vacation all week, and I was supposed to get my smaller side projects finished so I could begin to focus on a larger one that I want to really get going. Have I finished them yet? Nope.

I’ve been wanting to blog about my trip to SXSW Interactive and talk about all the great people I met there. I’ve been wanting to blog about my simplifying my workouts down to 30 minutes. So much I am always thinking about but never getting around to doing. Oh and I also got my new black Macbook this week. It’s nice, high five!

I have some books that I am going to read. The first one is Your Money or Your Life and then I am going to dig back into Getting Things Done. I hoping and going to try and stick with something. We’ll see.

I wish I could

… really get back into this whole blogging thing. I’ve always got something to say, just ask my wife, or my kids, or the people I work with, or the people I met at SXSW, anyway. It’s just I’m not very good at writing or some other excuse I suppose. I want to talk about my time at SXSW, my projects I’m working on, my workouts, my trials in productivity and GTD, etc. I dunno, well this is a start I guess. I’ll try and come back later and organize my thoughts better.

iSXSW Bound

I am off to Austin again this year for iSXSW. This will be my 3rd year there, and I have enjoyed each one. There is always lots to learn, both from the panels and from just sitting around and have conversations with all the people that you meet in the industry that travel to iSXSW.

New Server

I have moved over to a new server and am setting things up. I will have all the content from the original reames.org at archives.reames.org.
