A fresh start?

2012: Ramp It Up
It’s that time of the year again -- another year has passed, and as usual, I don’t finish reflecting on it until the first 3 months of the following year have gone by.
>>> How did I do in 2012?

Shiro's 50,000th
Happy 50,000, Shiro! Thanks for all the fun drives, and getting me from point A to B.
Here's to the next 50k.

Getting Things Done, sorta
Wow. Once again, it's been over a month.
I've been reading and working my way through Getting Things Done, which has helped me crystallize my thinking on how to plan things out and accomplish some larger goals. I've already implemented a lot of it at work, but work is easy by comparison to implementing it at home -- at home, I'm struggling.
