Dazed and Spinning

I’ve been trying really hard for a long time to get a little more centered in my life. I’ve read books, and tried many apps for dealing with it. I’ve got notebooks out the wazoo, but nothing really seems to make my life much clearer or allow me the space to focus.

I have Severe Shiny Syndrome, and I really need to just drop a bunch of it. Media to watch, pictures and video to take, applications to write, websites to build, a job to maintain, podcasts to listen to (and make!), books to read, games to play, places and people to visit, twitter+IM+mail+RSS+Internerds to consume, and toys to buy.

Too much.

Oh, and a blog to write.

And that’s not even including the quality time with my wife and son.

I feel like I need some sort of (barf) Mission Statement. I know what’s important to me past those two. I just need the discipline to clear out the cacophony of distracting Shiny Things.
