RSS/Google and Urgent Things

What a day so far. It is currently 2:30 in the afternoon and this is the first chance I’ve had to sit. It’s been busy. I helped some friends finish moving the last things out of their house today but other than that I have accomplished nothing important.  You know how all organizational and scheduling books tell you to prioritize things that are important not things that are urgent. That hasn’t worked today. It seems like the last few days has been about getting done a whole lot of little unimportant things. Not that little things aren’t important, just the things that I’ve had to work on have been unimportant. 

I spent a lot of time working this weekend and I spent most of that time on very little of the important things I needed to. I spent very little time with my kids (other than a really awesome sled ride on Sunday).  This is has left me wanting more (hey wait….. that’s the name of this blog) and reaffirmed my need for some big life changes. 

For those of you who are new to reading blogs and the like you might not be aware of RSS feeds. Basically the idea is you have a service or piece of software (called a feed readeer) that will automatically check this (and other RSS syndicated sites) automatically for you. Then you don’t need to try and remember everyday to look at the site for the latest updates. It will tell you when there is one.  You can either use the subsciption button on this website or enter the site name in your feed reader. 

I personally use Google Reader. I’ve been super happy with it. But then again I’m also a Google addict. I use Gmail, Google Reader, Google Notebook, Google Chrome, Google Bookmarks. I use Google Apps for my business email, calendar and docs. Google keeps my whole world in one place.  I really should be paid royalties for all the people I tell about Google stuff. Sadly…I don’t.
