I've been toying with carrying a small pocket book for the only reason of writing down repertoire ideas, particularly programing ideas. Every once in a while I come up with what I think is a great concept, and then a day later completely forget what it was I had thought of!John Broughhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10836876751710988224noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5930988849407292582.post-4790298660201444172008-03-11T21:03:00.000-07:002008-03-11T21:03:00.000-07:00John,The challenge of your next two weeks are much...John,<BR/><BR/>The challenge of your next two weeks are much appreciated (especially since I'm part of the problem!).<BR/><BR/>I, too, think computers are the way to go for many things--my wife and I switched to Macs about 4 years ago, so use .mac to keep our calendars synchronized, much as you're using google calendar. It was always a problem with two separate paper calendars--one of us always forgot to write something down and we ended up double-booked.<BR/><BR/>I also keep music organized in a similar manner so I don't get confused or grab the wrong stuff (or when traveling, realizing that I didn't bring a crucial score!).<BR/><BR/>There's an interesting site, Zen Habits (zenhabits.net) with approaches to simplifying organization. I've been playing with some ideas from the site--for jotting down ideas and "to-do" lists I'm going back to writing things down in a notebook (with a small pen and notebook I can carry with me everywhere). <BR/><BR/>We'll see how it goes!Richardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14910774133392443899noreply@blogger.com
