Love alone leads to perfection, but the three chief means for acquiring it are obedience, chastity, and poverty. Obedience is a consecration of the heart, chastity of the body, and poverty of all worldly goods to the Love and Service of God. These are the three members of the Spiritual Cross, and all three must be raised upon the fourth, which is humility.
– St. Francis De Sales, Introduction to the Devout Life

This would have been an “early October ‘07 Stack o’ books”, but it has taken me this long to figure out to resize my photos back to the way they were when I first started doing this without a hitch. This is because in early October I started reading David Allen’s Getting Things Done, and it has really helped.
Before that I was doing Clare Siobhan’s Getting Nothing Done. Now I am starting to Get Things Done. Sort of. For example, the GTD book is due at the library today, and I am only just now realizing it, because even though I captured the information and collected it into my time-sensitive “next actions list” (my calendar) I failed to review it and have therefore not taken the book back yet. Fortunately, even though the night is not exactly young (it’s 9:58 pm) and the library is closed, I can still take it to the after-hours drop box. That’s called “getting things done just barely in time”, which is not ideal for one’s “psychic RAM” but it’s better than forgetting altogether, the way Getting Nothing Done me would have done it.
