iGoogle in general is pretty awesome. It's reminds me of those shitty spy ware taskbars my dad's laptop is overrun with; only non intrusive, easy on the eyes and well...actually useful!

Grab Google Calender and the "to-do list" tab. Then maybe throw in Gmail, a weather tab, and either CNN or BBC news. But don't bother with Google maps as it's kind of gimped and you'll end up having to visit the actual site anyway.

It may not be showing, but I'm kind of a mess right now. I've got dozens of projects online and off that I could start working on at a moments notice, but which I can never settle on which to do. I've never been very good at time management skills like prioritization , careful time allocation or flexible scheduling, so it all seems kind of futile right now.


I suppose everyone has their own way of doing things, but I've found that scheduling is only helpful when you have a whole shit load of gatherings/appointments/jobs/classes at irregular and constantly changing times; more than one can keep track of without eventually forgetting something or accidentally scheduling two events for the same time.

If you're just having trouble deciding on a project to start, then just pick something and fucking steamroll it. Mapping out tiny chunks of time for a bunch of random projects is only going to a) waste a lot of time figuring out the proper allotments each task requires OR b) lead to disappointment when you miss that 5:30 appointment to work on the cover article for next month's Cat Fancy (but only for EXACTLY one hour).
