After all this time of trying various task managers, it feels like I’m starting to settle on one.  Believe it or not, it’s one of the tools I started  out trying and discarding for various reasons, but after much hunting and pecking and trying and pulling and reading and writing.. I’m about *this* close to […]
Now that I’ve done a week of using GTDAgenda, I thought it would be good to try another web-based todo list and compare my experiences.   This week I’m using the AJAX-based todoist. Right off the bat I am definitely liking the ability to quickly add tasks using the simple “a” hotkey.  You can also […]
And so begins day 3 of GTDAgenda testing. Since I’m an animator at heart (even though I do more managing and meetings now), I decided to try adding tasks to make notes of each fix I wanted to do on a shot I’m currently working on. I created a project specifically for this shot, and […]
After 2 days of using the online task management/productivity application GTDAgenda, I’m starting to get into a groove with the software and find my flow. I’ve still got a few issues that pop up here and there, but I’m getting a better hang of managing my todo lists, and displaying them in a way that […]
In my quest to find the “perfect” GTD system for my use, I’ve decided to actually try a few todo systems for a week at a time until I find the one that I like the best.  I’ve got a rather complicated workflow that I need to support. Some things I’ve come up with as […]
I thought it might be fun to explore another example of using contexts for those of you who’ve never used them or seen a benefit from them. This is from my example of my “Fixing the bathroom” project in my previous post. One of the tasks was to “restock the bathroom with supplies”. So in […]
I have been thinking a lot about personal time management and how it can help artistic people handle the fact that they need to produce artistic work in a timely manor while still having time to explore and experiment. It’s a common problem in the animation industry.. We have to be creative, unconventional, unique, exciting […]
How fun!  Recently there was an image posted on AICN from the project I’ve been working on for a while.  It was announced last week as Oobermind, a film to be released on Nov 5, 2010. Unfortunately I can’t comment much on the film, the image, or anything else really at this point except that […]
Court upholds Prop. 8 but lets marriages stand. I’m incredibly upset about Prop 8 being upheld.  I’m glad that my mother and her wife are able to stay legally married, but I’m very upset that the courts decided that gay and lesbian couples are less “valid” than heterosexual couples. I want to post all of […]
I’ve had a number of people request the name of this new theme, so I figured I’d point you to the wonderful site where I got it! The place where I snagged this one is: http://www.webdesignlessons.com/ I tend to look at new themes quite often, testing them out, seeing how they work, and ultimately deciding […]
