sockiness
I finished my pair of green Sockotta socks which had been on the needles for quite some time:
The yarn has a bit of cotton in it which I swear I can feel when I put them on. I've become a sock snob, I'm afraid - I only like wool socks now. Even in the summer - I wear only SmartWool socks for hikes and walking and stuff.
Next on the needles is some Trekking stripey yarn. I'm using a pattern from the "Sensational Socks" book - a great resource for sock inspiration.
A GtD update follows if you care to click on the link.
What a difference this has made in my life. For once, I feel organized and in control. Not that I've got everything done - but I know what needs to be done today and am confident it will all get completed.
The GtD method promises that your mind will be "like water" once you're into the method. Oh, that is so true. This morning I woke up without a hint of stress. That I actually had time to choose to take pictures of my socks and post them on my blog without feeling like something else was being ignored in the meantime is a testament to how well this philosophy works for me.
I am finding it very helpful to cruise sites like Lifehacker and 43 Folders. The other day I came across a recommendation for Handy Shopper which looks to be a really great tool. Over the past couple of days, I've loaded up a complete shopping list and yesterday I took note of all the aisle numbers at the grocery store. Now I've got a grocery list that's sorted according to where the items are located in the store. WAY COOL!
