I think I've embraced the concept of project management perhaps a little too deeply. Perhaps bordering on psychosis.

I've been taking advantage of some weird limbo time that I get occasionally as I watch my students slave away at their final assignments. One of the things I use this time for is to make a plan for my time over the next six days. I have blogged about this before … my handmade, six-day planner.

(Aside: That was interesting, scrolling back over the past year of blog entries … hmm … more on that later …)

So, looking forward, I need to:

• finish marking a truckload of assignments and exams and projects
• finish a number of projects around the house
• prepare food / menus for the holiday season
• shop for food for the holiday season
• buy presents for people

This is in addition to all my regular stuff that I do. To me, this translates into making a LOT of lists, and thinking carefully about each one. So, I wrote down in my hand-made planner "make lists".  I'm not kidding. I wrote on my list … make lists. I guess that makes the list I wrote it on the "meta-list" … or maybe I'm creating a list breakdown structure … an LBS, by any other name, would smell as sweet … see, I think I'm losing it …
