it's my birthday on the 12th august. since i don't really do new year's resolutions, i'm going to use my birthday as a chance to turn over the edges of this little ole leaf. i'm turning twenty-two. it's not a big birthday, really; twenty-one was kind of momentous, and everything before that was, but now i'm just "in my twenties". these years are for growing and being and learning.
so, year-twenty-two resolutions!
oo1. stop letting things get out of control.
so often i'll put things off with a simple "oh, i'll do it later", but then they build up and up. example: today i went through my gmail inbox and marked emails, still unread, that i'd received A YEAR AGO. so oppressive.
oo2. be happier with who, where and what i am.
so often i'll find myself searching for something different, or hoping to grow out of what i am, trying to figure things out. i need to be more comfortable with who i am, not with who i want to be. i am still building and creating the person i'll be for the rest of my life, but that's no reason to put everything else on hold.
oo3. have more sex.
i'm young and cute now. i need to stop being so afraid of sex. help?
sorry for any comments i haven't responded to. i let my sg journal comments get out of control. *sigh* *laugh* okay, new leaf time, right?

Google Calendar for dates (syncs with iCal and most phones). What's great is that it sends you text messages as reminders, which really works well for me.
Backpack for simple lists and notes. Any time I get directions or a note or a quote I want to remember or a book or movie or music or groceries or questions I want to ask or talking points or anything at all I write it in my Backpack. It's the simplest and best way to keep track of all that stuff you always forget, or at least I always did. It's brilliant.
Vitalist for actual GTD. This is entirely due to it having the best iPhone version of any GTD web app on the internet right now. iGTD is much better, but it's a desktop app and you can only access it online if you have .Mac. Which I don't.
Ultimately though, it comes down to sticking to something. I'll go days without checking my GTD list, and things start piling up as overdue. But at least I don't forget stuff as often anymore, and kick myself at missed events I really wanted to go to. And I can write something down, a note, a list or anything, and know that I don't have to remember it and can always reach it on my phone.
Best of all, everything I've mentioned is FREE.
