One more for the office supply fetish…and the continuing saga of getting me organized and remembering what all I have to do. Found this nifty deskpad at Pottery Barn and just had to have it. I like the idea of the big notepad page for the week plus the smaller notepads at at the top for lists like groceries, call back, to do and misc.

Touchy Feely, huh? Hmmmm……
Exactly! That is what I said to myself (well, maybe I said “Self, Exactly!”….when I read this article from Amy Gahran (which I got via Stephen Downes’ OLDaily)
Maybe it is because I am not a writer by profession, but I have been treating my blogging as just a part of the process. Sure, some of my blogs are information sharing devices and some are more “backup brain” postings but I have noticed that I have added the “Oh, I should blog this” thought to my process of developing training materials, finding useful resources and just generally thinking about stuff as I go through life.
