The Shifted Librarian: "PeterMe asks What Software Do You Think In? It's an interesting question that is continuously changing for me. It used to be whatever email program I was using (I am continually mocked for the amount of space my email takes up on the server). Then it became the bookmark program I use (which I have apparently maxxed out). Then it morphed into an information manager for my Palm (so far, so good). Now it's blogging in Radio. This is my trail of knowledge management, another essay I'll be writing one of these days. "

Didn't manage to catch this the other day when it went by

Structured Procrastination: "an amazing strategy I have discovered that converts procrastinators into effective human beings, respected and admired for all that they can accomplish and the good use they make of time. ... Procrastinators seldom do absolutely nothing; they do marginally useful things, like gardening or sharpening pencils or making a diagram of how they will reorganize their files when they get around to it. Why does the procrastinator do these things? Because they are a way of not doing something more important. If all the procrastinator had left to do was to sharpen some pencils, no force on earth could get him do it. However, the procrastinator can be motivated to do difficult, timely and important tasks, as long as these tasks are a way of not doing something more important. "

Finally a strategy I can relate to (someday!). I'm off for the President's Day weekend to do some snowboarding. Given the nonsense that flying has turned into and the fact that we are flying through Salt Lake City, I'm planning on leaving the PC behind. That means I'll be off the air for the next several days.
