Ah yes, I spent a total of maybe 2 hours on the computer this weekend, and to be totally honest - that felt really, really, REALLY nice. I can’t tell you how nice it felt - to feel like I “didn’t” have to be there in front of it. I was able to do things this past weekend that I had been putting off. Maybe it’s due to my re-prioritizing my life. Well, maybe just for this weekend, but damn it felt really nice.

In that two hour hour span tho, I did manage to get quite a bit done. I managed to kick things into gear because I’d made a list. You know me, I’m always SAYING that I will make a list or I have a list - and then proceed to lose it. But this time, I got a notebook! No more losing those little pieces of paper, no more sticky notes unless I put them in my notebook! See… I’m all excited about my notebook - but it’s taken me this long to do it. So I’m just excited to get my shit in order!!

… so anyway! back to what I did in my 2 hours in front of the computer. I took one of my older sites and gave it a facelift. I put a new template on it. I also made the content show - one per page. I took the index page and customized it to look more like a webpage and not so much like a blog. In the end I was quite pleased with it. I decided to work on this site (we’ll call MPP2006) because it’s made me money in the past - not tons, but more than 90% of my other sites, so who’s to argue with that. I’m hoping with the new look that I’ll be able to encorporate some more new content to the site. I was thinking of adding some Amazon links, but I’m hoping to find additional datafeeds to plug into the site - and make things automated and easier for me.

I worked on adding content to a couple of my sites and it was nice to sit there and start checking things off my list - as done. Finito. Fini. It was a really nice feeling and I felt like I could go on and tackle other things in my offline world and not feel like I was forgetting something in my online world - because I wrote things down… made it so much easier. Also if I think of something - I can just add it to my notebook. The whole notebook thing has beat everything electronic that I’ve used in the past to try to organize my life.

So whoo hoo… old school
