Don't F*ck With Packham

Well that back-fired.  Pop a range rover in front of Chris Packham's gaff and set it on fire .  Cracking high jinx, that'll show him.  Hahaha no one died, fortunately, hahahaha.  Haha criminal damage hahahahaha.  Nothing, and I do mean nothing , gets your point across better than this sort of thing.

My Own Agenda

I’ve spent a lot of time switching between various GTD approaches in my life.  As I’ve probably explained before, my brain rejects the various forms of organisation I try to put upon it after varying lengths of time like a transplanted nipple.  Too smart (or do I mean lazy) to be hoodwinked into keeping ordered lists of items to work through, the process is sabotaged by waning enthusiasm and resolve in my mind and I am left scratching around helplessly in the dark like those early days of sexual encounter.  And the rest of the encounters then on for that matter. The ones that I tend to gravitate too most frequently were either a very basic Bullet Journal (strictly no unicorns or artwork more complex or time consuming than the the task I was documenting) or some form of kanban.  I have tried various times to just use Apple Reminders and Calendar and I have even tried using Amazon Alexa.  But I would admit even during that, this was something I was ...
