Historically, I've prided myself on being able to maintain in my head an accurate running list of everything I needed to do in the coming days and weeks — but that was before I assumed the mantle of team leader for what is arguably Missouri's most prolific and innovative prison-based media group. Now I make notes to keep track of it all. Lots of notes. Lists, too. I begrudgingly make use of Microsoft Outlook multiple times throughout the day and feel my spirit inch a little bit closer to death every time I do.
Ah, well. It's a living.
My current list of short-term reminders stares me in the face from a series of PostIts on my center monitor. The list is as fittingly eclectic as my job has become.
- 2× shirt
- New riddle
- OMS notifications?
- GLS test dates/times?
- Wade's peer reviews
- Guide training
- Real Talk intertitles
- Twon's disclaimer
- That's Debatable meeting
- Writer's Block signage
- Chapel service policy
- Book Club promo questions
- Musician qualifications, format, application
- Kaiju skit – need boxes
- Keynote speech
- Talent show graphics
- Video strategy game?
That's basically the next three weeks. I'd explain what all of these seemingly random items are and what their respective relevance is, but I don't have the time. If you happen to know of a good freeware planner that doesn't leech your vital essence, however, I can spare a minute to read about it.
