The lousy Verizon service in Red Rock sucks on a rainy day
So I went over to Pittsfield MA to hang out at the Barnes & Noble, do some shopping, do some surfing and update my MacBokk Pro's operating system while I had a fast connection. Then I just stayed instead of driving back in the rain. After all, home is where I park it and I have no need to be in Red Rock early tomorrow.

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.
