From My Mind to....

The Port in a Storm

I went into town earlier than normal today as I decided to stop by the car wash first and relieve my poor car of its dingy gray coating of salt, sand and grime courtesy of our recent winter storm to its picturesque maroon color. Those of you in the north country know regular winter car washes are essential to preserving one's paint job and alleviating undercarriage rust.

I suppose one winter storm will not destroy my car. But, the wash helps my peace of mind.

Now I sit at the local coffee shop doing my daily five. Four items completed and then I got sidetracked--I get distracted very easily. For some reason, cleaning up my Portfolio seemed like a good thing to do rather than my daily review. What a storm that's become.

That cleanup is long overdue and one of my "Dear Me" goals. I suppose writing that goal down placed it firmly in my mind, and I thought, 'This shouldn't take too long.' Ha!

Four hundred-fifty plus items, including more than 60 folders, groups and forums, should have been a sign. I just spent about two hours nursing my mocha, and barely dented what I was hoping to accomplish.

Anyone else in the process of organizing your Portfolio? Any tips? Other than scrapping the idea, that is.

I have fewer than half the number of items a Premium membership allows. I can't imagine what a Port with close to a thousand items will look like. I just hope the final organization allows the growth I'll need based on my stated goals this year.

I better get that review done. Busy times a-coming.
