I often seem to say, even if only to myself, that I have a new plan. You might say a cunning plan. Unfortunately my cunning plans do tend to go other about as well as those invented by Baldirck.

In my drafts for this blog I have many unfinished posts. I sometimes struggle with articulating what I want to say. I have one that was started in late September. Since we are now in November (We were when I wrote this.) I think it is fair to say that that post is not going to work out.

The current cunning plan is a new do-to list book. I use a website called So Typical Me . This site allows you to design a diary, or note book, from the ground up. I designed one back in May but I have slowly started to realise I made a mistake.

I miscalculated how much I could do in one week. Nature abhors a vacuum and so do I. I find I cannot leave blank spaces. If there is a line in the book I want to fill it. Therefore I have been setting myself too much to do in one week.

My new plan, elegant in its simplicity, is to have a notebook which doesn’t assign tasks to a specific day. If a piece of work can be done at any point then it can’t possibly be late can it?

(2024-11-24) Since I started this post I have also purchased a standing desk. I have been thinking about doing it for quite some time and it arrived a couple of days ago. It is supposed to be better for you, it helps with the problems associated with sitting for too long, and I think I heard it helps you focus better.

So it may be that a new diary coupled with a standing desk will help me be more productive. It may also be that I am announcing another cunning plan a few days from now.
(It is now 2024-12-06. So far so good.)
