New tag in today's post: "thinking". I'm trying to have something to say in every daily entry now. Add a proper human touch. Get a dialog going with my past/future selves, Stephan.

Though doing so just reminds me of someone who told me all these daily questions and timeblocks create a lot of visual noise for anyone who just reads these parts. I'll probably reinstate goals and goal-tracking in the day-to-day (because I really like doing that). Splitting this diary into a log with all the templated stuff and, well, an actual diary may be one of those goals.

One of the first goals, however, will be the recreation of checklists for morning and evening routines and attempts at making those checklists a proper habit.

Did my end of day routine ad-hoc today. Lots of stuff to organize before I can make a concrete checklist that is containable within a half-hour. I "caught up" on my tickler today. Which is to say I took the last month and a half of ignored tickler and put it in my inbox, and then I divided up the items by priority over the next few days (or threw items I can ignore into next month). I know that if I'm regular about tickler, I can maintain a healthy inbox of things to do. So I'm hoping to catch up slowly, but also tackle priority things first.

And by priority, I mean taxes. This is the longest I've waited to do taxes since I've done them. (ETA: Meaning this is the longest I've waited to do taxes in my history of doing taxes.)
