More on next steps.

[randomling]

I am home now.

I still have applied to no jobs. It turns out that the wi-fi at the library is intermittently very slow, which is quite annoying. It's possible that the wi-fi at Costa is better, but I didn't get to check that out today, as it was so packed that I couldn't find a place to sit. Maybe at 9am-ish, it'll be better.

So the next thing to do, I guess, is think about priorities and how to organise myself so that things get done. You would think that by the age of 33 I'd have some clue how to do that, but I am struggling. Still. Make do with what you've got, right?

I'm going to start, I think, by listing stuff by type of activity.


Physical stuff
Get sweater out
Find blood test paperwork
Open letter from consultant
Find new Evans card
Do a sweep for clothes that I can take to a charity shop
Take charity shop books downstairs
File more books on shelves
Load of laundry (and put the current load away)

Man, that's really a lot of stuff.

Do I have deadlines for any of this? Let's see.

Deadlines

Gifts and cards - I'd like to get started on this by the end of the month
Call Time to Talk - tomorrow
Email Chetan - tomorrow

Everything else is a bit up in the air, really. Some of it is probably more important than other stuff. Some of it is probably blocking other stuff. I'm starting to think I need a bug tracker for my life.

I feel like I need to figure out why I'm doing each of these things and maybe that will help me to decide what's important and what needs to happen first. That sounds like the subject of another post. Sorry, the spam is going to continue apace until I have actual priorities.

(None of this includes the stuff I just want to get done every day. Hrm. Wow, there is a lot of stuff.)
