A list is always a good way to get started. =)
btw, for making backup copies of the AC’s blog, you might want to try an application like this: http://www.httrack.com/
We use it in aid of our minionly admin duties and it’s quite serviceable. The only thing is, since the evil that Vista, I’ve had to reinstall it everytime I do a backup.

And making the list public, forces you to step up, don’t ya think?
Thanks for the pointer re backup aid! I’ll check it out.
Oh dear. reinstalling. I feel your pain. I got the last generation of Mac ppc — they didn’t waste any effort making it state-of the art. (grrrrrrr)

I think I’ll make a public list too. It might help motivate me. Thanks for the idea. Yours is a long one.

[...] Momentum Tuesday I began chipping away in earnest at the ToDo list. [...]

I usually use a steno pad — two columns — TO DO & DONE. I love filling up the Done side, but I always seem to have to roll somethings over from the To Do column.
It’s buried here somewhere, in one of the piles that grew over the winter.
