I've tried many many times to set up a stringint "blog Update Schedule". Things like "Transformers Review Mondays, Game Review Wed, Some sort of photo comic Friday" etc. This always ends in a mess and lasts barely half a week with the end result being "i hate blogging". Sometimes forcing yourself to "Get things done" just doesn't work. Something else I wanted to mention re: todo lists. I’ve tried many many times to set up a stringint “blog Update Schedule”.

For example. I set up a ToDo list on Rememberthemilk.com . I use it quite a bit. By "use" I mean, I add things to it. I never remember to actually check it or check off items I've done. I set up an evernote account so I could remember things and take notes. I drop lots of things in there. I rarely organize those thing or even look back on them at all. 've phased it out since getting the Blackjack but my best organizational tool I've had was the "Hipster PDA". a stack of notecards with a binder clip. I take notes on the cards, notes, songs to download, whatever. Maybe once a week I'd go through and follow through on those notes or downloads. Now I've switched to the Blackjack with RtM and Evernote. I find I have little follow through. PS My desk contains a pile of random notes, many with zero meaning since I would scribble down a phone number and not who it belonged to. Part of my overall issue with organization is follow through.
