PDF downloadable: ‘You don’t blog’ feature

SOME OF YOU BRAIN-DAMAGED FOLKS out there seemed actually pleased with my frightful, fearsome, ghastly, verbally diarrhoeal, megalomaniacal six-part feature “You don’t blog?”.

Just goes to show there are some indiscriminately neurotic people out there.

One of you lot actually asked that I combine the six parts into a single PDF file for easy reading (shurely shome mishtake?—Editor) and for keeping as reference.

(Likely story. More like keeping it as ‘evidence.’ )

The downloadables

The whole feature is now set as a PDF monograph (as I pretentiously call it) and downloadable in two versions:—

Monochrome: youdontblog.pdf (380 kB, 47 pages)

Colour: youdontblog-colour-A4.pdf (382 kB, 47 pages)

Right click on the link and then “Save as…” — done!

‘Wiping paper’

I’ve spent an enormous amount of time compiling and formatting the thing whilst in a highly inebriated condition, so don’t wander off and print it out and burn it like some effigy in front of people. Or as wiping paper.

Thanks all.

Timeplanner form for 2010 and 2011

“No battle plan survives contact with the enemy.”
– Generalfeldmarschall Helmuth von Moltke the Elder (1800-91)

*

Quite a few people really enjoy using some of the formsets that I produce for my own productivity for the home and office.

Personally, I don’t use a diary (date planner) because:

• I have no need to carry with me a year’s worth of appointments, to-do’s, reminders and whatnot everywhere I go.
• I plan and work by weeks and quarters, but most diaries work by days and months.
• I generate an enormous number of notes. Diaries mostly don’t have enough blank pages for me to write in.
• My working life is one long emergency (see About Me page). The requirements of my customers exact frequent changes to my working schedule, so a bound diary book just gets revised to death.
• I don’t see the point of spending HK$45 to HK$150 (US$5.80 to US$20) on a preprinted bound diary.

Protips

1. 

   bulldog clip

   Print 52 sheets and hold them together with a bulldog clip.

2. Print on different coloured sheets for different people or projects, or for different revisions of schedule (for billing or audit purposes).
3. Carry only two sheets with you (this week’s and next’s): the war correspondent’s way.
4. Enter on the back only those items that have to be done that week.
5. Don’t load the back with many to-do’s. You can only do six things at any one time, and the reason is mainly physiological (but that’s another story).
6. Leave back half empty for notes.
7. Never list expenses on timeplans (taxation audit danger point!).
8. Revise, revise, revise. “Planning is everything; the plan is nothing” (Gen. Dwight D. “Ike” Eisenhower).

Special requests

Please email me directly if you like the sheet to be in any other language (including Chinese), different sizes or different timing orders.

My email is thenakedlistener (aroba) gmail (punto) com.

Likewise, email me for an immediate discussion if you have need for customised timeplanning sheets.

No hotlinking to files

For those of you who do trackbacks, just link to this page rather than hotlinking to the PDF files. Hotlinking just screws up bandwidth for everybody. Many thanks.
