It’s been four long weeks since the conclusion of 1776, and my life is finally getting back in order. I’m once again nearly caught up with work.

That’s not to say that 1776 took up so much of my time that I couldn’t get work done … but I was unable to put in the sort of hours that I needed to catch up completely. Back in January, I was routinely working 10-12 hours a day, and some on the weekends in an attempt to get myself to the point where I needed to be … and 1776 prevented me from working that much, although I did still manage to get 7-8 hour days in most of the time.

So, it’s probably about accurate to say that I am now where I would have been in mid-February if I hadn’t done 1776.

In other news, I’ve sort-of fallen off of the GTD wagon. That’s not to say I’ve abandoned my to-do list and processing rules … I haven’t. However, I got lax about writing things down, and I started keeping certain things in my head again. I’ve put a stop to that as of this week, and I’m back on track. I’m also about to start reading from the book again, and perhaps in a few days I’ll actually finish it.

Finally, in more-or-less unrelated news, I purchased a 19" widescreen LCD this week, to replace my aging and malfunctioning Gateway 19" CRT. I’m glad I made the move … LCD screens are soooooo much easier on my eyes than any CRT I’ve ever dealt with. Even after a few days, my eyes already feel a bit better. Now maybe I won’t go blind by the time I’m sixty.
