Desperately trying to organize myself with a Palm IIIe

so

this is my second time writing all of this because i accidentally closed the tab. yay.

I've been struggling to keep all of my projects in my head properly for a while now. Lots of half finished ones that I get motivation for every so often, and some new ideas that I might start working on. I just kept bouncing around working on them and never finishing one. Which is bad, because in my book unfinished projects don't count. 

the solution maybe

I got this Palm IIIe for Christmas from my uncle, who knows I like this sort of thing. It's a personal digital assistant, which means it has a calendar, memo board, calculator (terrible btw), and a to-do list. It's not much more complicated than that. 

When I was given it, the battery juice had ran out (it runs on AAA batteries) so it had forgotten all about its past life. I was going to give it a new life.

its kinda working out

I put in a bunch of the projects that I hadn't finished yet (or ones I wanted to start soon) and ordered them by priority since it lets you do that. Results: I finished one item which was near completion and I'm grinding to finish the top priority one. Yes it seems like a very wacky and random list but my interests are all over the place. I might post about these when they're done, definitely the top three.


you may be asking

"Bbut theres an app on ur phone for this!! why dont u use it????"

Basically it didn't work for me. I would have that list front and centre on my phone's home screen and I would barely glance at it. And guess what? It's great! I'm organizing myself in style! As a bonus, this device is physically incapable of phoning to mommy google, so I won't get a torrent of ads for art supplies just because I wrote down the word once.

"lmao how old is this peice of trash trololololo"

It came out in 1999, before I was born. It was probably obsolete when I was a toddler. I don't think much of that, because I surround myself with things that are before my time. I enjoy it, deal with it :)

Tip if writing a long blog, or something 'artistic'

Type it up on a word doc, or maybe notepad. Save as you go, between thoughts. Save if you're interrupted.

Keeps it from being 'eaten' by some web glitch, or closing a tab, or whatever.

Bonus: Once typed, you can more easily edit or add to it, or rewrite something.

Copy and paste into the blog window

Best of luck, ymmv!
