Might not have time to write anything until afternoon today...
Update: Whew, finally a break in the day, and some internet access. But I don't have a book report for you, because I haven't had a chance to read today! I've been dabbling in several books, though...
1) the aforementioned "Organize Your Mind, Organize Your Life."
2) "The Intellectual Devotional (all 5 volumes -- I read one chapter a day from each. It's like a little mini-Wikipedia article on various people, things, and events.)
3) "Remember Everything You Want and Manage the Rest" (This is the book on memory that I forgot I had bought last year!)
4) "Mindset: The New Psychology of Success" -- this one is really good -- it's given me some insight about teaching that I'm putting into practice.
5) "The House That Cleans Itself" - One really good point the author makes is the idea that the first thing you see when you walk in the door gives you an impression of the whole place. So I need to focus on the area that's in my line of sight when I walk in the door. Right now, that's a bookshelf that wasn't even on my immediate list of things to declutter. But it is now. Also the table. If I can get these two things looking like a picture in a magazine, it will have a positive effect on the whole apartment. I've been focusing on the wrong places.
6) "The Joy of Being Disorganized," because I have met the author -- one of the Sidetracked Sisters from Sidetracked Home Executives. I was not aware that she had written this.
...And there are some others that have fallen down on the list -- I should go back through and make sure that I meant to stop reading them. I might've just gotten sidetracked.
....I also subscribed to "Blinkist," and committed to reading at least one book summary a day, just to help me decide what nonfiction books not to miss.
Planned: minimal walking - busy day!

Actual: OK,weird, but I came home and ate a little extra food. I don't know how much it was, but it was nuts out of a can. So I'm going to call it a million, and go to bed and start over tomorrow.
