Getting Things Done…
Posted on August 29, 2010 | View CommentsI have a productivity plan. A way to get things done that I need to get done. It involves a Sunday night ritual where I go over my To-Do list, examine my weekly calendar, schedule appointments, pay the bills, look at my weekly expenses, and... -
The Thinking Stage
Posted on February 1, 2010 | View CommentsI am working on my dissertation proposal. Or so I say. I haven’t really written much. But, that should all change this week. This week, I start writing. Up until that point, I’ve been Thinking. I’ve been in the Thinking Stage. For me, this stage... -
Congratulations! You just passed your Comps! What are you going to do now??
Posted on December 18, 2009 | View CommentsRead a book. More specifically, a book that has nothing to do with archaeology. Or history. Or any combination of the two. In fact, I’m hoping that this book will have no basis in reality. In other words, it will be a book of fiction.... -

One Month to Go
Posted on November 12, 2008 | View CommentsOne month to go in the semester, and things are amping up. Things have been rather idle in the office, lately, but that will change shortly. I just received notice that MSU will be “breaking ground” at College Field by the end of November, meaning... -
back to school tools
Posted on August 20, 2008 | View CommentsI thought, since class starts tomorrow, I would put up a post highlighting some of the computer software and websites that I use pretty much daily throughout the school year. These range from scheduling and productivity apps, to word processing and powerpoint apps. Scheduling, Productivity,... -
productive procrastination
Posted on June 12, 2008 | View CommentsI ran across these two essays by John Perry, a professor of philosophy at Stanford. One is entitled Structured Procrastination, and the other Procrastination and Perfection. To be quite honest, I identified quite solidly with these two articles. I have always referred to this kind... -
iPhone
Posted on June 11, 2008 | View CommentsYesterday, Apple introduced the G3 iPhone at the Worldwide Developer’s Conference in San Francisco. The new phone is lighter, faster, and cheaper. Much cheaper. It is now only $199 for the 8GB model, a couple hundred less then its predecessor. Unfortunately, the phone still requires...
