livingdebToo much rain + not enough buses = a one-hour-ten-minute commute of four or five miles. That is all I have to say about today.
Blog series of the day - Merlin Mann's My War on Clutter, (the first in) a series of four entries (links to the other three are at the bottom of the first entry) on how he finally got around to getting rid of clutter. It's fun to read lists of suggestions on how you might do such a thing, but more fun and illuminating to get details from someone who just did it. "Clutter of every kind has been the default state of my physical world forever. Although no official record of the conversation exists, I would not be surprised to learn that I tried to talk the staff who delivered me into letting me keep my first diaper; just because — y'know — you never know when it might come in handy."
Best quote: "I finally realized what's really been stopping me from accomplishing anything substantial. It's so simple and so dumb that I'm embarrassed to admit it: my garbage can was too small."
Most helpful quote: "If the stuff that you accumulate doesn't help get you closer to the life you want to have, it's simply not worth keeping. Period."
