Google Maps is not always right
Maybe I'll begin calling it Goofle Maps, the typo I just made. Today I found for the second time on my way back east that Google has some Wal-Marts located incorrectly on their map. This time they missed by 10 miles, placing Wal-Mart's Terre Haute store about 5 miles north of I-70 rather than 5 miles south of I-70 which I think is correct. But I don't know for sure - I gave up the search and settled in at the local Cracker Barrel for the night.

Commitment is the Glue that Binds
But, the component of personal commitment is my favorite lesson from GTD project planning. It means I’ve knowingly agreed to let this thing become an acceptable interruption in my life. It means that other things might have to wait because of this, and that’s okay. Maybe most importantly though, commitment is the glue that binds your daily activities to your “higher altitudes”—it’s how you can make sure your values and your priorities in life are reflected in what you do every day.
