be better organized

I'll be implementing GTD 10 months ago

with Outlook and OneNote 2007 starting tomorrow. I’ve got a clean slate and am at email zero, so I hope I can make it last.

be a better husband

This is really hard for me to do right now. 10 months ago

I’m working in a different city from my wife and have left her with our children until our house sells. We talk on Skype each night, but that isn’t the same as being there for her.

Read more books

I may be misunderstanding this goal. 10 months ago

I’m reading about 6 books right now. One at a time will probably make this easier.

Currently reading: Cryptonomicon by Neal Stephenson, The Face of Battle by John Keegan, Goodbye to All That by Robert Graves, Patriotic Gore by Edmund Wilson, The Art of Memory by Frances Yates, and The Making of the English Working Class by E.P. Thompson. I’m furthest along in the Stephenson, so I’ll probably focus on that one.
