Widget Obsessive Compulsive Disorder

I basically consider myself a very easygoing person, and I try to take life as it comes, and just have a good time.

But I definitely am an organizational freak in a lot of ways. And when I can't find a way to organize my projects and ideas, my productivity suffers a lot.

Take for example the last few days. Not the most productive I've had lately...although there were some highlights in there. The reason for this is I am at a point with some of my projects where I am in uncertain territory. I know some of the things I should be doing, and I know what other things I need to research and learn more about, but I can't seem to put it all together into a step by step process. So I flounder, and procrastinate, and surf, and procrastinate...

In order to feel more in control, I download applications, programs, widgets - whatever I think might help me organize my thoughts, projects, and tasks. I have to-do widgets, calendar and task programs, goal setting widgets, and mind map creation applications.

Here is a shot of my screen with some of the crazy apps and widgets I have...












Some I use more than others, some I don't hardly use at all. But I still download new ones and will continue to do so in my futile quest for optimal organization and productivity.

Oh, well. Maybe I should start a widget support group! : )

Carpe Diem!
