How I did it
It made me

Third, I plug away at it for the week.Things that I did: I marked all old goals as done, failed, or deleted them sans entry. Found a few better worded goals. I wrote an entry about each goal that I added or that didn't have an entry written by me about it. Read how I did it…
It made me
Satisfied

I chose a particular poetic form that in its modern form is short and easy to comprehend.4.) I forced myself to sit-down and write with out editing as I wrote.5.) I wrote about what was on my mind, which was that nothing creative was coming to me.6.) I decided to post it, regardless of how poor… Read how I did it…

As I go through boxes, shelves and spaces where we stored things I have turned the living room into a near unlivable place. This ultra short term goal is to get it back into a livable space by weeks end. Perhaps even tonight I will turn the chaotic mess into something more organized and sightly.
From an email I got from Evernote
Evernote Tip: Sending Email into EvernoteYou just emailed a note into your Evernote account. Well done!
Here’s a tip: you can send notes into specific notebooks and assign tags by adding some simple information into the subject of the email. Here’s how:
Notebook: Add @[notebook name] to the end of the subject line.
Tag: Add #[tag name] at the end of the subject line. This feature works with existing tags in your account.
Be sure to follow this order: subject, notebook name, tags.
To add some text to an existing note, put a ” +” at the end of your subject line and we’ll place the body of the email into the most recent note with that title.
Example subject line:
*Fwd: Recipe for Tofu Antelope @Recipes #soup #tofu #faux-animal- The Evernote team
†Red color and recipe edits are mine.
