Wil is telling me I need to work more on things that I plan to work on. And he's right.
I spend a great deal of time doing things but get very little done.
Now part of that is the natural tendency of life to get in the way of plans. And I like to spend my time on my family.
At the same time, however, I really would like to do these things that sit in the back of my brain and flirt around my consciousness.
Wil wants to do webpages. I am hesitant. Mostly, I think, because I'm afraid that my work will look like so much tripe out there in the WWW... where tripe is so plentiful and easy to find.
Still, I can't just ignore the fact that I need to do something other than think about projects.
So, in my bid to both use this journal AND get some ideas in some form of order, I'm going to see if I can write my ideas down here. I don't like journalling as a rule (and as my non-use of this journal proves). I tend to be more private than that and live by the rule that I should never commit to paper (or electrons, as the case may be) anything that I don't want others to see. Makes it hard to journal.
And I also don't want to be caught up in the minutia that is my life. Don't get me wrong, I like those little things that make up my life, it's just the natural human tendency to *complain* about them. I don't want to look back on my journal as see entry after entry of complaints. My life isn't that way.
I want to look back at my journal and see a journal full of thoughts, ideas and insights. Not petty complaints or snide rantings. If ML ever reads this, I want her to see someone who handled things with class, humor, dignity and style.
But perhaps for that, I would have to have someone else write it...
So this is going to be less of a diary and more of a "thoughtful spot". I think that I'll try out my "friends only" setting for these. And since Jedi Jenn seems to be my only friend... I'll tell you right now you can ignore them if you want.

1. Do more of the things I plan.
AND
2. Stop thinking of every idea I have as something I have to do.
'cuz...y'know...the insanity thing.
