Around New Year’s, I wrote a couple of posts related to time management and my new resolutions: Letting Things Slide and New Year’s Resolutions. I thought I would share a little update on how things have been going in that department.

This has been the story of my life for the past couple of hours. Amazing all the different ways one can find to procrastinate, especially online. I am pretty well caught on my blog-reading, my Facebook-updating, my blog-updating, and my Xanga-browsing. Now what is there left to do? Oh, maybe I should work on that [...]
