Man, I miss my agenda. And it's funny that you say you became more of a procrastinator once it went away--I feel like the fact that you can turn OFF a PDA or an iPhone or smartphone just makes it easier to turn off your responsibilities! Maybe we should start a movement. :) Thanks for reading, Amalia! Man, I miss my agenda.

It was a huge thing from Franklin Covey or Filofax and I used it during a professionally formative time in my life. I loved it! My life was planned out and viewable a month-at-a-glance. Phone numbers, agendas, to do lists, notes. It weighed a couple of pounds and became too cumbersome especially since I became addicted to using it for every little thing in my life. When I didn't have it with me I felt lost without it. It was as if I didn't know what I was doing or needed to do unless I could refer to it. Eventually, I got a pocket sized digital organizer. I felt so hip and cool when I got that! All my phone numbers and yadda yadda yadda info went it to that but typing my to do's and keeping a schedule was more cumbersome that jotting it down so just didn't bother. I started keeping that info in my head! Can you imagine! lol! Actually, I think that's when I started procrastinating alot more. I too had an agenda back in the day!

I just thought it'd be fun to catalog the things I think about when I run. Someone once said that thinking while running was "active problem-solving," but I can't see that I solved any problems with these thoughts. :) @Ami: SO MUCH FUN! hope to see the race again in 2013! @Jennifer thanks for coming by!
