Odds `n ends
A matter of trying again
By ELAINE TOWNSHEND
You know the old saying
"if at first you don't succeed,
try, try again." I'm still
trying to make my life a little
more organized.
I had resigned myself to
confusion and running in
circles until the other day
when I was rummaging
through some old files. I
found a yellowed column
written by a lady in the
United States.
She explained her writing
timetable. In the first week
of each month. she wrote
enough columns for the
whole month. That left three
weeks free for other things.
Whenever a column idea
struck her, she wrote it
down, and whenever
research yielded some
valuable information, she
filed it away. Thus she
always had a wealth of topics
from which to choose when
the first week of each month
rolled around.
"Good idea," thought I,
"and it sounds simple
enough. I'll try it."
Today is Tuesday. I in-
tended to launch my
program yesterday, but
unexpected book work and
errands postponed it. The
plan has gone well thus far
today, and this column
should be finished on
schedule. One down and four
to go, and I'm wondering
why I decided to start my
project in a month that has
five Wednesdays.
I could write another one
tonight, but a survey of my
closet tells me if I want clean
clothes to wear tomorrow I
should do the laundry first.
Today I also learned of
appointments that will take
me away from home both
Friday and Saturday, That
leaves one day in which to
write three or four columns,
if my plan is to succeed,
Should I ignore the in-
terruptions, even though
they're important, or should
I postpone my organizational
clean up for a few days?
Postponement seems most
likely, especially since I just
discovered another major
stumbling block-an idea
drought. Sure I have lots of r
topic suggestions scribbled
on bits of paper; newspaper
clippings cram my files, and
magazines litter my tables,
Unfortunately
sometimes forget my
reasons for saving certain
clippings, and reading takes
time. I usually captionize a
column idea into a sentence
or two, and stretching one
line into five hundred words
requires some thought. I
might develop four columns
in one day, if miracles do
happen.
I hate to sound like a
pessimist, but I'm beginning
to think I was destined to run
around in circles. For the
time being at least, I'm
shelving my planned
organization,
I'll keep the lady's
column, though. I admire
her; she's certainly an
organized person.
Maybe next January I'll
dig out her column again,
make it my New Year's
resolution and try again,
Everybody knows how good I
am at keeping New Years'
resolutions!
