Do this.

Get some software for screencasting, and then go ahead, talking while doing.

Make a written script, or at least THINK before you begin, and make a few “not-so-great” movies before you complain about your voice. When you start liking it, even mistakes in videos are not that hard to live with.

This has gone well for me when I have done things that challenge the status quo (wrt hearing my own voice recorded).

Making sure you re-remember stuff is important.

My latest (and earliest) system, this goes back to my early high-school mornings late for the school bus is: Take a piece of paper, and draw or paint one word on it, like “DENTIST” and then maybe writing another word, so the message becomes “DENTIST – cash money”.

I hang this note near where I a) wake up, b) leave the house, or c) sit down to eat. Perhaps also on my laptop keyboard.

This has worked.

But also, see your calendar as “hard landscape”, non-negotiable. If it’s on there, you do it.

Hm, but I’ve replaced this goal with “Implement GTD”. That’s my improved approach, I guess.

It’ll be hard. I heard a glass of wine helps make it fun.

I have done smaller sweeps of my projects list. Removed a dead project here, fiddled a bit there. But no real reviews, by the book.

I’m using the Mac app OmniFocus, but it is not open at all times. It should be, I guess. (It was open now.)

Will try to use the “inbox shortcut”, ctrl-cmd-space, a lot more. Better to have it loosely in in than nowhere.
