  • As it seems not to be so far away from your home, could you not make a kind of share time ? 3 days a week in a place, 4 days in the other ?
    A lot of people do that around here...

  • It's actually a good two hours from one place to another (not a lot by world standards, I'll admit). 3/4 days would be too much moving around for me (and the cat), I think. For the moment, I've blocked at least one extended week-end (4-5 days) per month up there. If I manage to stick to that, it'll already be way better than what I've been doing for the last year!

    This is especially good. When you feel you're too busy emptying your inbox to find the time for vacation, just put vacation in the GTD-system itself :)


    "Completely goal-driven, get the photos online, publish fast, sort, title, tag, sets, collections…"


    Couldn't agree more that this prevents you from being fully at peace. Having too many "I have to do that" might make you feel more in control, but it's a stressful way to look at pleasurable things - kinda like parents rushing their kids through Disneyland, "we have to have fun, we have to have fun!"


    I was surprised to see you posting pics in Twitpic. First thought was "haha, she HAD to be at least a bit online :)", then "wow, TwitPic is so not her: not tags, no collections, no easy way to retrieve... it's vacation alright :)".
    Just dumping pics here and there for the simple pleasure of showing them to friends, and not having to make sure they have all the right metadata and such associated with them, not having to make them findable absolutely... This Is Good.

  • cool stuff!
