• Wells Fargo offers envelope free deposits that scan your checks and bills. Amazing. I hope Wamu, I mean Chase, offers that someday. #
• Yay Star Trek today! #

I really enjoy How I Met Your Mother because I identify a lot of the same struggles as Ted. I myself have been procrastinating since I’ve been in California. I keep waiting until I have everything ‘perfect’- the perfect headshot, the perfect website, perfect training, all my acting notes in order, experience..

How am I to get real experience if I never do anything though? I’ve been planning to do my own webseries for a while, but I procrastinate writing the scripts. This show isn’t just for me, it allows my friends to get involved in something too, to showcase our collective talent and creativity.

I’ve been procrastinating more than just the writing- I’ve been waiting to buy a new video camera, framework for the green screen, organizing my to do list..

I don’t have Activator as one of my strengths, but I know I can cultivate good habits. I only have two days a week off, and today is the day I will get a haircut (I’ve been putting that off for a LONG time- it is so scraggly!). Then I will get out of the house and start writing in a notebook because if I try to do it on a computer I get distracted or try to find the perfect program to help me out.. which furthers the procrastination. Or I start to eat and then watch tv shows online..

Okay. Timeboxing WILL work today. I’m going to spend 15 minutes planning out my day, then begin. This will be a productive day.. oh yes.

The longer I put off starting my own firm the longer it can remain a dream and not something I screwed up at.

Its like I’m giving up before I even started.

• My, what a lovely sunny day. #

Woo-hoo! I can use Bento again! I think Bento will now replace HanDbase as my favorite app..

-Bento will have pictures associated with it.
-Bento can search across all fields

It may even replace Things as a to do list! Maybe I won’t require three different apps for my various lists! This will take some practice today.

• Watching “The Cameraman” 1928 on http://tinyurl.com/c2j697 #
• Waiting for AAA to disable the alarm that is apparently part of my car. I’m also out of gas and have a dead battery. #
• Last night was LONG. But my car alarm was deactivated and things are good again. #

I will let go of all the times I make mistakes.

Beating myself up over things or feeling bad doesn’t help anything or anyone.

~Choices are moments in time that I can’t change.

~Relationships can usually be repaired with a peace offering.

Or I can do something ultra-positive to someone else, paying it forward.

Righting a wrong with a right.

Yin and yang.

• Oh laundry day. I wish the dryer had another setting besides Nuclear Scorched. #
• Enjoying a couple Comedy Sportz shows tonight. #

I finally decided to buy http://www.biblescopeapp.com/ . I already spent $30 on BibleXpress, but it didn’t have NIV or the cool split screen view to look at two translations at once. I’ve been brooding whether to buy it or not, but I think it will be very interesting. Plus I can even download a spanish version and practice my spanish! The buttons are in different places, but I do like a lot of the little things (like having a little list of all the books on one side when I’m selecting which verse to go through- I always had trouble trying to flip to the right page fast enough)

So far today I’ve updated http://hmatt.com/blog/projects/10-find-way-to-accomplish-goals/ and explored Fetch Mirroring from my idisk to MobileStudio.

I think my favorite app on my iPhone is HanDbase. Especially now that they sell a $15 add on for the mac that allows me to sync back and forth. Very useful.

My second favorite is a tie between Zenbe Lists or Things. I deleted zenbe at one time, but they’ve really added all sorts of nice features with their website like embedding lists elsewhere and such. Things is still my main to do app though because I can move tasks from one place to the next and can see all of them at once.

Tonight I’m going to watch a couple ComedySportz shows. We meet again on Monday night, and we are supposed to watch several shows.

• totally didn’t notice the earthquake.. I probably thought it was apartment noise & let it stay in my subconscious #
