With a crunch mostly over at the beginning of the week, I don’t have much of an excuse not to be posting anymore, especially considering this new layout was supposed to highlight my content production, not my conspicious lack thereof.

I spent some time tonight doing some cleanup/sorting. For example, filing and closing out about 30 unsaved OmniOutliner files that have been precariously sitting in my dock. I’ve upgraded to OmniOutliner 3 Pro, which among other features, has the ability to select and restrict views of sections. This eases on mental clutter, and is a great idea:

Also, over the past week, I’ve been much more diligent in scheduling the upcoming day in iCal. This works out well for two reasons. I already track my billable hours in iCal (I have a server-side script that processes the iCalendar file after it gets transferred via WebDAV that automatically updates our billing system as well as generates reports) and the additional scheduling only helps me keep on top of that, and also at the end of the day, I’m able to push off the things I haven’t gotten to and have half the next day scheduled. It’s one of those virtuous cycles, or something like that.
