De-screening. Transcription. Projects.

My ‘de-screening’ process continues. I finally finished transcribing the existing text of the novel from screen to journal over the weekend. Also, I transitioned my ‘House’ projects from OmniOutliner to a (rather alarmingly tall) stack of index cards. At the same time, I decided to stop the daily HPDA cards, instead creating a ‘week view’ with important meetings, appointments, etc. Office projects remain in OmniOutliner (I just need to pull out Writing at this point) and all date-critical items go into ical for emailed reminders, which I’ve come to love over the popup monstrosities.

Weekly reviews become much more streamlined and efficient, daily at-home tasks are handled separately and unredundantly, and Roberto is a happier camper because he can not turn on his computer every night as soon as he gets home. (Contented sigh.) This will also ease the need to pack the computer on bike commutes, since I’ll just leave it at work overnight. And with TV controlled, I’ll be so much better able to work, write, and read at home. Be at home, and not trapped in the glow of a screen.
