Its been three days since my last post.  The expedition has grown weak and hungry.  Yesterday we sacrificed William to make it another day.  The last three days have been the most treacherous with little possible escape from the elements.  My only hope now is to attempt to recount the last days of our journey so those following in our my footsteps know what lies ahead of them.  If you don’t see me ever again, know that our attempt and its annals stand as a testiment to infamy.

These past three days have been spent restarting Del.icio.us usage, regrouping todo lists, and arranging life goals.

Delicious delicious… Del.icio.us?

For anyone reading this, del.icio.us is old news.  However I feature it for its simpifying abilities.  Del.icio.us addresses the need for social bookmarking as it does for personal bookmarking.  I feature it as a simplifying utility partially for this blog, and partially for those of us who like (read:need) to reside on the bleeding edge of technology, or those with multiple computer stations (work, home?)  Why have local bookmarks when you could just use Del.icio.us to stream your bookmarks to you?

I now use the RSS function in firefox to ’stream’ my bookmarks to the bookmark toolbar.

To do this, just go to your del.icio.us homepage, the one that lists all your links, then from there find the RSS feeds.  There should be a tag, and raw feed.  I put both of these in my firefox bookmarks bar, and now have no worries of my computer crashing, or have to worry about finding long lost bookmarks on different computers.  What do you all think?  Oh, and if you want to be my delicious friend, here’s my page!

ToDo lists

I know I’ve already talked about Rememberthemilk.com when it came to bills.  I personally have just started using it for its primary purpose, todo lists!  Within my blocks of the day, I’ll have different todo lists (for those blocks) and simply go through checking them off during their time blocks.  It sounds pretty redundant, but having a system seems to break all of this down in a simple way.

Life Goals

Most important of these three days came the soul searching.  I’ve come to realize you can only really focus on one major goal at a time.  Multitasking makes everything take an impossibly long amount of time to do.  So I asked myself the easiest (ha!) of questions:

What do I want out of this year?  Where do I want to be in 10 years?  Where do I want to be in 20 years?

If you take any suggestions of mine, take this: meditate on those questions, give it a day, a week, any amount of time you can devote to only thinking about the above questions. Have a think week for your life… Now what is the most simple way of getting there?
