I think too much about the process of getting work done

I really need to be disciplined this week. I have so much work piled up for every class that it has exceeded the seven items I can store in my temporal lobe and so I rely excessively on iCal and Actiontastic. The thing is, it is a bit of a circular reasoning when it comes to me and my to-do list: if I write it down in my to-do list, I can usually remember it because I took the time to write it down so I don't need to refer to it anymore; if I don't write it down, then I can't remember it, nor refer to it in my list 'cos my list is full of the the stuff I can remember.

But I'm making a point of jotting everything down the minute I know it because, as I said earlier, the number of items is exceeding what I can normally remember.

I re-inherited the Palm Zire this weekend so it may help in making me more diligent in jotting things down. At present, I jot it down on paper, stick an asterisk beside it, then later that night, stick it into the list. It may work better than using the Zire actually, since the Zire doesn't have bluetooth (I'm sold on bluetooth) We'll see. I actually like having paper involved somewhere along the factory line...

I spend way too much time thinking about the process, and too little time doing it!
