Comment on Writing Assignment: Write About Your Plans For Tomorrow by Randy Murray

Congratulations on completing your first Writing Assignment.

I recommend that you repeat this assignment and instead of thinking of an idealized day, think of the real day before you and write a plan that takes into account that you will work and carefully plot out how you want this work day to unfold. THEN you can write about the day that you think will happen.

Good luck!

So I completed this assignment – my first one. My ideal tomorrow and my *actual* tomorrow are remarkably similar, with the single glaring difference of work. Work will eat up about thirteen hours of my day tomorrow. It doesn’t exist on my ideal day. The remaining hours are quite the same, though.

I know, I have a bunch that I need to sort through, but they don’t go well with my typical home office t-shirt or Columbia fishing shirt.

Ties are relatively inexpensive, you know.

Comment on Minimal Is Not (Necessarily) Frugal by Randy Murray

I’ve used PCs and Macs extensively since 1985. I’ve found that I get more use our of Macs (longer trouble free life) and higher resale value from them. Here’s a test: go to your local Best Buy or other retailer and compare the top PC laptop to the Macbook Pro (That’s what I currently use). The quality difference is stunning. I could build a PC from parts, but I gladly buy and use Macs.

Thanks for commenting!

It’s definitely important to prioritize spending. I’m not sure I would agree with the Apple vs PC comparison. I’ve owned a PC for years and haven’t had any trouble writing or figuring out how to use one. To each his own…

Hi Randy. I love the concept: spend money with a focus on fun rather than depriving yourself. I’ve been doing my own little projects with that idea in mind lately. I find that blogging about these things forces me to stick to my commitments, seeing as I’ve abandoned most of my resolutions in the past. You write about stuff I write about, but your version is better, tighter, less flowery. I’ve always wanted to have a “male writerly voice”, and yours is one I aspire to imbibe. Keep it up!
