Do you need a TV? I don't.

So I've got this TV I've been trying half-heartedly to give away almost since the day I got it. But this week I'm gonna make something happen and get that damned little box out of here.

I've gotten frustrated again, and am feeling a sense of stagnation. Sure, I got myself a cracking new job 5 months ago, and haven't really been cooling my heels at the gym either.
Somehow I just can't see the path forward now, and that's getting at me. A couple years ago, I had a sense of where "forward" was, and hit the books. That initiative has made all the difference in my life today. I don't know what's next, or where "forward" is from here, just that I need to get some momentum.

So I brought out the organizing tools again (see GTD entry from ages ago), and am all set to set about something. Not sure what yet, just that I need to clear out all the little old to-do's to set out on some big new doings.
Step one is to reclaim some of my time leakage from the internet, and some of my cash leakage from eating out and a personal inability to bypass a convenience store or starbucks without walking in. Step two is getting rid of the TV.

That's why I'm making this blog entry before I head to ikebukuro to have a gingerbread coffee!
