Slam Dunk, Bitches

August 14, 2007 by krisis

Usually when I read some sort of “organizational self help” type of article I think, ahh, all things I know how to do, just nothing that can happen inside of my house. Because, while I am occupationally an organizational dervish, my home persona is not exactly the paragon of effective time and resource management.

(Maybe if I had my own production buyer a team of Sr. Designers at home things would run a little more smoothly? Oh, and an industrial printer. And a “Send Calls” button.)

In any event, I was tickled to read CNN’s Six slam-dunk time management tips article, because I engage in all six actively at work and at home.

And, then I realized that this is a signal that I’ve actually, puzzlingly, logic-defyingly become good at organization within the bounds of my own home.

I keep trying to figure out how it happened, but I can’t seem to nail it down. My big 2006 personal goal-setting was a nice boost. Being super-autonomous at my job definitely had an impact. So did helping to organize Lyndzapalooza. Of course, regular Arcati Crisis rehearsals with Gina kept me on a schedule, to which I added voice lessons. And, I totally reorganized my home office this winter, and totally re-filled my desk a few weeks ago when I bought my new mixer.

Et cetera.

Moral? Time management is a use-or-lose sort of skill. If I was still in the state of last summer, where I pre-scheduled my entire work-day only to return to a house where my primary task was watching seven seasons of X-Files as expediently as possible, then my time management would continue to suck. If that home life is filled with things you are excited about accomplishing, the excitement eventually trickles down to grocery shopping and doing laundry.

Okay, maybe not doing laundry. I don’t think I’ll ever be efficient at that.

    I would have found this thought-provoking an insightful, had I not found myself hung up on one tiny little question…

    Why only seven seasons?

    Because seasons without Mulder don’t count.

    Mulder pfft. As long as there’s Scully, there’ll always be a place in my heart for seasons 8 and 9.

    Have since re-read the entry, and found it to be just as thought-provoking and insightful as I expected it to be. I will now attempt to organise my time as neatly as I do my x-files collection.

    That’s the way my time management works too. Too much time, no management. Too little time, crisis.

    Enough time for everything to get done, but no room for procrastination? A-M-A-Z-I-N-G!

    So sad to admit, I like doing laundry. It’s like bathing or brushing my teeth and when I’m finished I have nice clean clothes. But my dear husband creates about 90% of the laundry and I sometimes get tired of folding his t-shirts.

    Also, totally agree on the XFiles w/o Mulder don’t count. I’ve been thinking about re-watching the first three seasons. Season one is in the Netflix queue but nowhere near the top.

    […] I examined my role as a narrator in my own songs, comparing it to that of an inanimate object. Elise and I found a new favorite restaurant, where we’ve since become regulars. I documented my seemingly endless struggle with organizing my home office. I started documenting my visual life. I reflected on how far my 2004 resolutions have got me. […]
