The Power Of Thursday

by

I’m always trying to find new ways to get organized.  One of my techniques is to consolidate tasks to be done at certain times – this way I know when to do them and if that day gets interrupted, I can move them as a whole to another day.  It’s surprisingly helpful.

The day I found is best to get stuff done?  Thursday.  Consider.

  • Sunday – Sunday is usually a day off but people still use it for light chores, and it’s still the weekend.
  • Monday – Don’t even get me started.  Monday, at best, is a good day to plan your week.
  • Tuesday – You’re getting going.  Also, it’s almost Wednesday.
  • Wednesday – Hump day.  Really, what do you want to do on Wednesday?
  • Thursday – Is the day after hump day and the day before Friday.  It’s a good time to “put everything in order” for the weekend and clean up after the week.
  • Friday – Is Friday.  You want to do chores then?
  • Saturday – Weekend.

So yes, Thursday.  Thursday is a good day to “clean up and prepare.”  Thursday is when you’re just about to the weekend but aren’t starting the week.  Thursday is a good time to clean the house or do shopping or whatever chores you have.

I think Thursday is a bit unappreciated really.  It’s at that ideal time in the workweek you can get a lot done, and you get some perspective on the week to do it.

Today Was A Bizarre Day

by

So a riot that may not have been a spontaneous riot, caused by a film that was created by a man who may not exist, resulted in the death of real people at the Lybian embassy by what appears to be a deliberately calculated terrorist attack.  Then a presidential candidate puts his foot in it.  It’s a moment where all I can do is express condolence to the friends and family of those who died, be glad for those protesting against the violence.

No Freak Out, Just My Geek Out

Over at Nerdcaliber I discuss how being an “outsider” shouldn’t (and isn’t) core to being a geek, nerd, otaku and the like.

Join the ranting.
