Recorded during a May Bank Holiday under the gazebo of the Ashgrove Cabin. Cover art of my view looking at a door that needs black paint.

I'm trying to complement my day with a simple audio blog item. I've made these occasional audio blogs since 2010 and four years ago I tried to import a string of them into Spreaker. They remind me of unfinished tasks. I can hear my own voice telling me what I'm trying to do. Today, I'm still spinning my wheels by not holding myself to ticking off items on my to-do list.

I need a To-Do List Imperative--something that encourages me to stay on task. I'm starting to wonder if I need a better electronic system, something more than Google Keep.

My blog tells me the to-do list I used the longest was Wunderlist, a service acquired by Microsoft. So I've downloaded it and hope to see its integration to Outlook on my laptop. It doesn't integrate smoothly on my Samsung Note 9 but I'm used to that.

I'm putting my hands up with an admission that I need better focus. One of my creative media students tells me it's all down to executive planning. I need better executive planning, starting with a priority system that should be carved into a nightly routine.

Saying these things out loud helps me think about what should be on my tick-off list today. Perhaps I should return at the end of the Bank Holiday Weekend and report my success.

Before I leave, I want Google to recognise my black Gothic Door and give it standing. The black Gothic Door with its Norseman tells part of the story about where I am seated while typing these thoughts. If you follow some of the links to the black Gothic Door, you might arrive inside the cabin where I'm seated. Canadian Robert Neil has done that already by using Google Earth.

If you find the space, you're welcome to visit. I'll beam you in via Zoom if you request.
