Ian's Messy Desk is one of those blogs that provides consistently interesting posts to ponder upon. Ian's blog nestles amongst other favourites in my BlogLines profile and I enjoy the fact that I never quite know what is going to be covered on any given day. Recent subjects include Stations of the Cross, animal rights advertising campaigns and an online grammar test intermingled with the regular posts on matters of faith.
Whilst it is obvious that Ian and I are poles apart in geographical and theological terms - he being a Canadian of Christian orientation and me being a Brit who isn't - we do have a few areas of common ground. Other than our shared enjoyment of words and language, we both have an interest in personal productivity and task management. Earlier in the week, Ian blogged TIME MANAGEMENT HORSE SENSE which links to a short but useful piece for anyone looking for a neat primer on some core tenets of 'time management'. Why the quotation marks? Because, whilst this phrase is widely used and well recognised, one can't actually manage time, merely tasks and actions one has to do in any given period. Semantics, maybe but important to recognise the distinction, I feel.
