100 Day Challenge: Day 47
Today I had a realization.
There's a lot of time I waste checking things, websites, blogs, my e-mail, etc.
So I decided to download Google Desktop and I setup a gmail account. I had one but I can't seem login to it, so I created another one. I also configured that gmail account and my school e-mail account to be accessed via Thunderbird. Yahoo wants me to upgrade before they'll let me access that account via POP3/IMAP. So I'm going to say goodbye to Yahoo and go pretty much all Google. I just feel a sudden need or maybe it's an understanding of how I can simplify my life if I consolidate as much as possible.
I'm also looking at downloading portable versions of my WebBrowsers (I use both Firefox and Chrome), Thunderbird, and Keepass. I figure this will help me keep everything together and organized. With these portable apps I'm figuring that it will make life a lot easier using both my desktop and my Netbook. (On a related note, I saw a touchscreen version of the Asus EePC today... It's hot... I don't know if it's $600 hot, but it was hot.)
I guess this goes along with my desire recently to de-muck my life. I've cleaned out my bedroom, my car, I've cleaned out my Hotmail account, my Yahoo account, and I've started cleaning out my e-mail account at work. Looking at my desk there's some clutter I can stand to get rid of here. I've also organized my files on my computer and I'm also planning on doing a Windows re-install after my graphics card gets here (currently it's sitting in a warehouse in Salt Lake).
Along with the Google Desktop install I've started to put my schedule in to Google Calendar. I'm betting this will make my tasks a lot easier to manage. Of course it's using this that also makes me want a G1. I'm sure it's got access to an app to bring up Google Calendar which would make managing tasks even easier.
Wow, I'm becoming a total tech junkie. Well at least to the point where I am letting them make my life easier. Or at least I'm hoping they make my life easier 
I'm still planning on doing some mind mapping for some things I would like to achieve.
Wow, I want to believe I'll find a way to make the money I set out to make at the beginning of this. Was it $10,000 or was it $15,000 or was it $20,000? I don't remember, but the last entry I found was for $10,000. I guess that points to the fact that money is not that important to me right now. I really can't complain, actually I'm grateful as hell. I have plenty of money coming my way to provide for what I'm doing Hell let's take a look at my major purchases that aren't school/living related: Hosting for this website, my netbook, a graphics card, down payment on another car (still waiting anxiously for that one to finally pay off.). Oh yeah and I just bought the original 3 episodes of Star Wars (IV, V, and VI) on special edition DVD the other day, so I really don't feel like a poser anymore. Oh yes, I've also had enough to pay for testing and take time off to promote to 2nd Degree Black Belt.
Now that I think about it, it really is awesome how money has been flowing into my life.
I'm just about half way through this process for the first time and really what I'm excited about is that I'm de-junking my life, as well I feel like I'm getting in touch with my real self. Those two things are worth far more to me any amount of money. Although I have a feeling that those two things are going to produce quite a bit of money for me
It is interesting to note how much more free-flowing the energy around me feels with things really starting to get cleaned up in my life. It's good Feung Shui to boot.
Everyone make your day a great one, I'm going to go crawl into my nice warm bed and cuddle with my kitties.
