Getting things done

As you may have guessed I have a habit of not getting things done. I have no shortage of ideas, and plenty of motivation to start new projects, but finishing them is somewhat more challenging. This wouldn't be such a big problem if I kept projects to myself, but I also have a habit of telling other people about them - therefore building up expectations of a swift completion. Which I then don't deliver. Sigh.

I don't really have an answer, although I am thinking about getting some kind of personal organiser (I need a new mobile phone anyway, maybe I should get a PDA?) so I can write down tasks I need to do and tick them off when I've done them. That way I might not get things done any quicker, but I won't forget about quite as much. And I may also follow the advice in this article, which seems very sensible.

Actually, there is one thing I have done. Last night I set my new experiments area live. Maybe one day there'll be more than just one article in there...
