------------------------------------------------------------ Writing/Planning, (zaibatsu), 12/18/2018 ------------------------------------------------------------ I'm not the most organized fellow, and I'm OK with that. A part of me wants to be the most organized fellow, but the more dominant part of me doesn't care. I admire organization and efficiency, and I aspire to them, but they don't come naturally to me. This morning, I was pondering on this little place called gopher space, and how much I enjoy it. I've made an effort to contribute when I can, to help it grow, and I want to continue that effort. But my effort has been scattered. I think I want to make an attempt to organize myself a bit- not so much that I lose any of the joy or zest that gopher gives me, but enough that I am more on top of what I want to accomplish. The first thought that came to me was to create a writing plan for my various gopher holes. In reality, I would be creating a writing plan for various subjects, and not gopher holes; it just so happens that my gopher holes are divided by subject. Still, it's probably better that I think of the division as subjects, since that would be an easier thing for me to consider in a writing plan (based on level of interest, and a few other things.) No one else would need to know my plan, it would just be an outline to help me remain productive in writing. The hope is that this would help me in other writing/planning areas as well. Learning to be disciplined is a good thing, though not a natural one for me. Now I just have to go and do it.
