I know it's boring but... in by degrees

I just feel so much better when I write down the things I've gotten done. It offsets the incredible amount of procrastination I do leading up to the actual doing of things. So in the last two days I have:

1. Copied and mailed off all of the checks for this month for Bolivia donations. (I have to send them in monthly groups.)
2. Planned and successfully delivered another spot-on conversation class. Yay!
3. Put in a good 2 hours of work on the slide show I'm making for my 90 minute presentation I'm giving this coming Thursday.
4. Nailed down the set list and song order for Sunday's gig with Junji, and also practiced the whole set 2 times through. It feels good! We may practice once more on Sunday before the gig, but I think we're pretty solid.
5. Cooked some awesome kidney bean curry and cabbage salad. I don't cook as much as I should, so when I do, it feels like an accomplishment.
6. Caught up a bit with Katie and my parents on Skype. I still need to get Chelsea and my sister. It's been ages!
7. Finally bought more storage for my icloud. I've been passively worried about losing everything because it warns me every day that "there is not enough storage space to backup this iphone." I know it's a little silly to be so attached to data, but hey, I feel relieved, so it's worth the $20 a year, maybe.
8. SERIOUSLY reorganized the data on my macbook air. I have been getting messages that the start up disk is full every few months, and then I always have to delete files, but it's not really enough to keep things safe. I have a terabite external hard drive, so I've been feeling like this space problem was ridiculous, but I didn't know how to fix it. I finally did a little poking around online and figured out how to sync my itunes and iphoto libraries to the terabite drive, and all my problems are solved! Now I have like 28 gigs available. Relieved.

So I feel a little ridiculous that most of this stuff that makes me feel relieved and organized is so digital. I'm not even sure why that makes me feel silly... maybe because it's such a modern concern that was completely non-existent a few years ago? Maybe because it's really not so important in the real scheme of things? Maybe because it's such a first world problem? I'm not sure. It's a weird day and age we are living in.

Oh well, I'll just do my best to relish the good feeling of organization, and try to keep on top of things like this in the future before it all piles up.
