What It Would Take To Be Productive?
So to make all these things more I would need a technical assistant, someone who will configure my devices and look up new gadgets and software that would be more benificial for my over all life style. Here is a list of duties for this assistant on the following devices. Laptop/Desktop computer:
*Always have a cool wallpaper, if I get bored of it he'll change it
*Keep it updated, configured so no annoyances happen
*Figure out how to get my wireless on board card to work with Linux
Palm Pilot:
*Keep Contact info updated (check monthly to insure info is current)
*Find cool free software that does not have demo/trial annoyances
*Corrolate (or at least enter) School, work, extra projects and my wife's schedules
*Keep the Palm Desktop software, Outlook and Kontact (Linux's Outlook) updated to device and vice versa
*Manage my accounts and my "get out and stay out of debt" plan
Ipod:
*Manage mine and my wife's songs, make the necessary playlist
*Take mine and my wife's lecture recordings and convert them to mp3 and then zip them and upload them to my website.
*Make custom tracks for my music class (explaining what song, artist and time period is playing, along with anything else I need to know about the music for that music class
*Make custom tracks for all my other classes so I can listen to them to study.
Now if he or she were able to take care of all these things I would be able to go to work, study, hang out with friends, work on my website, work out, do all the stuff around the house that I need to, and even hang out with my wife...if she's not at work. I would have it setup so that we would meet on a Saturday or Monday and decide about the current wallpapers, computer settings, Palm Pilot settings, and iPod settings. The assitant would be able to call to remind of any appointments, help me with any studying, and do all the wasteful searching on the internet for the few things that I would stand in need of. I was talking to my wife about this idea, and with out missing a beat she said, "and be a Nanny too." Not that we have kids, but just to take care of the dishes and car oil changes and whatnot.
My closing thought is that I either need to get this assistant (which would cost a lot) or get an "all-in-one" device (that iPhone is looking pretty good...) or just get rid of all of it and clear my head and build more memory and self-dicipline skills. Heaven help us all.
