Due to favourable calendaric alignment (lots of holidays falling on weekdays) I’ve got two and a half weeks of vacation time this Christmas and new year, for the cost of only 6 vacation days. My ambitious plan for these weeks is to do all the stuff that has piled up and not gotten done over the last few months. I hope to:

  • Take down the wall between the kitchen and the living room
  • Clean up my desk and get rid of the many (but admittedly relatively tidy) piles of papers, magazines, CDs, DVDs, letters etc on it
  • Do a proper GTD review, emptying my head of all the things I know I need to do and getting it all down on paper
  • Unpack some more boxes from our move
  • Sew a skirt for Ingrid
  • Decide what kind of laptop to buy
  • Do my UK tax return for last year

Despite Ingrid’s continuing illness (it now looks to be something flu-like) I got off to a good start today:

  • Finished a curtain I have been working on for the last 10 days or so
  • Got rid of one pile of paper from my desk by typing in all my expenses for the last month or so
  • Processed (named, rotated and sorted into folders) all my photos from the last month or so

Let’s hope I don’t run out of energy before I’m done.
