While looking at different things I used while taking a walk, I found a little file on the desktop of my computer called “Checklist.txt.” I created this early in the walk and used it often to help myself remember to do things each evening. I was, after all, a bit tired each evening and likely to forget something for a day or three. Items on my evening checklist (there are 17 things on this list. Wow, that was a lot of little things to do every evening.):<\/p>\n
E-mail<\/strong> – Check my gmail account for incoming mail.<\/p>\n Twitter<\/strong> – Look to see what was being tweeted.<\/p>\n Facebook<\/strong> – Were any of my friends talking to me?<\/p>\n Linkedin<\/strong> – Were any of my Linked In colleagues talking to me?<\/p>\n Corporate E-mail<\/strong> – Check the email server of my employer.<\/p>\n Download iPhone photos to iPhoto<\/strong> – Move the photos I took with my iPhone to my computer.<\/p>\n Download camera photos to iPhoto<\/strong> – Move the photos I took with my camera to my computer.<\/p>\n Decide which photos go to Images Folder<\/strong> – This one required a bit more thought. What photos from the day did I want to keep in a special place for posting to the Internet?<\/p>\n Edit index.html in Images Folder<\/strong> – Move those chosen photos to a special area on my computer and label them as to their content and importance.<\/p>\n Decide which photos go to Wikipedia<\/strong> – A bit more thought here.<\/p>\n Decide which photos go to Taking A Walk blog<\/strong> – Even more thought here.<\/p>\n Put photos up to Wikipedia<\/strong> – This was some work, but I enjoyed enriching the Wikipedia pages for the towns I traversed. I was usually surprised what little, little towns had Wikipedia pages. I was also surprised what larger towns had photo-less pages.<\/p>\n Taking\u00a0 A Walk blog<\/strong> – I wrote the blog for that day.<\/p>\n Wayfaring.com<\/strong> – I updated the progress map I was using on Wayfaring.<\/p>\n Receipts and mileage entered into spreadsheet<\/strong> – Ah, accounting, but a good thing to do every day.<\/p>\n Backup<\/strong> – I backed up everything to a USB memory stick every day.<\/p>\n Reading<\/strong> – I tried to read some each evening. This was hard at times due simply to fatigue. Reading at least ten minutes helped me to sleep, and I did need a good night’s sleep.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" by Dwayne Phillips While looking at different things I used while taking a walk, I found a little file on the desktop of my computer called “Checklist.txt.” I created this early in the walk and used it often to help myself remember to do things each evening.
