The secret to feeling productive

Checked off todo items in Zenbe Lists on the Iphone

... make to do items out of every little task, and check them off afterwards!

Now, time to add one for sorting all my notes in Evernote ...

And there, another thing to check off; I can now mark pages so that they don't get included on the news page. Good for minor edits and keeping things off the news until I'm done editing them.

I've had a somewhat itchy throat for most of the weekend, and so I haven't been out much. But today I feel pretty much normal again, so I took a long afternoon walk. It was nice and cool and autumn-y and my body seemed to act normally when up to speed. So tomorrow I say it's time for some running again. But walking certainly has its own charm too, keeping yourself moving and warm, getting a bit of air and giving your brain some time to run things through.

I had a sudden vision while walking of what it's like to play Halo on the Xbox when it's going well and you're feeling really into it. It reminded me, again, of how rarely I feel really into a game these days, and how rarely I give a game the chance to really engross me. Anyway, the feeling of playing on a powerful console, moving expertly using the controller, feeling you're on top of your game. That sort of thing. The surroundings being a dark autumn night, of course.

Then, like clockwork, I remembered how pretty much everything about the Halo franchise after the first half of the Silent cartographer level has been more or less of a letdown ...

I'm feeling a bit I'm-not-quite-sure-what, but I'm wondering if spending the evening reading might be the right thing to do.
