A few days ago we made donuts for the first time. Since those turned out so well, we decided to give old fashioned (my favorite, btw) a try.
They need to be the right thickness otherwise they can be a little doughy in the middle but they were another success.
Good thing that starting tomorrow I’m limiting my daily calories to 1500 and going to the gym five days a week.
While discussing the potential cost of a gift:
Kaelyn: $20 is the generic cost for many gifts
Becky: $20 is the magic number.
Me: I thought 3 was the magic number?
Becky: That was the 70’s. Inflation, baby.
I’ve been doing the GTD things for a few years and am a major fan of OmniFocus by the Omni Group (they got my money for my Mac, my iPhone, and iPad). A similar concept pertains to email and that is of Inbox Zero. The concept is basically keeping your email inbox empty by dealing with or deleting each message.
I’ve longed wanted to get down to an empty inbox. About a year ago, I went from a few hundred down to about 100 but getting past was more difficult than I would have imagined.
The last few weeks, I’ve renewed the effort and today successfully got both my personal and work mailboxes down to zero.
The trick, of course, is keeping it empty. I get enough mail both personally and professionally so I will continue to leverage the power of OmniFocus to capture anything I need to deal with but can’t at that moment.
I like finishing the year with nothing. Merry Christmas.
