I use the excellent Time and Chaos to manage my life. I try to keep my work life and my home life separate, by maintaining two distinct databases - work tasks, contacts, and appointments are stored in one place, and the information I need to keep the rest of my life going in the other. This week, accidentally, I merged the databases. Initially I was horrified, envisaging weeks of unpicking and pruning, but I'm coming around to the idea that trying to keep things in separate compartments wasn't such a good idea in the first place. There is, after all, only one of me, and I can only attend one appointment at a time, whatever its context.
Wife and a friend were down at the mother-in-law's house yesterday, and by the sound of it made good progress. It is only to be hoped that mother-in-law is also impressed - positively. We're going to visit her in hospital this afternoon.
