Expansionist Policy

Something occurred to me this evening while watching some anime, with my computer happily idling on the desk. While this week was indeed a week of new beginnings, it has nothing on next week’s schedule. Case in point: when I last took a screenshot of my desktop, about three weeks ago, I had but five tasks scheduled for the coming week, and four “ongoing” tasks; the stack of reminders reached only about a third of the way up the screen.
Tonight’s glance at the list reveals thirteen reminders for the week ahead, seven pending reminders, and the whole pile stretches almost to the point where it would overlap the info panel of whatever podcast I might have been listening to, at the very top of the screen.
The obvious lesson to be learned from this is that I do too much stuff. However, what I’m more likely to take away from this is that my idea to step up my usage of iCal and other scheduling tools is working perfectly.
