Get Shit Done - challenge 1 (scanning)
In an attempt to 'encourage' myself to visit here at least twice a month, I'm going to use LJ as a progress log for a little challenge Ximeria and I have come up with to get our collective fingers out and just get the hell on with stuff.
We have named it the GSD (Get Shit Done) challenge and have set 6 categories to work on determined by dice roll. Each challenge will last two weeks and we must document our progress here.
The categories and corresponding dice numbers are :-
1 computer maintenance tasks
2 website work - maintaining/updating
3 fandom work (creating new works or reworking old ones)
4 flickr/facebook (photograph album sorting) uploading
5 scanning/photoshop (prep of images)
6 wildcard/free choice
Two weeks ago I rolled a 5 so my challenge was to work on scanned images. I have a great many old pictures that I've scanned but have not saved to flickr yet so I spent the time finding all the old pictures and getting them all together in one place. This task was so large, that I didn't even manage to finish collecting them all - I still have a lot of old CD's to search through, but the challenge isn't so much about finishing a task, more about starting it in the first place.
Today marked the end of the first challenge so I rolled again and this time got a 6 - wildcard/free choice
I am choosing to do some outstanding household tasks that are on my list for this one - cleaning out the shit under my bed, cleaning out our shoe cupboard and put up a new curtain rail in my daughters room. These are tasks which have been on said list for between 6 months and a year. Yeah, time to get that shit done!!!
