Productivity - Inbox Zero
For many months I have been keeping my inbox clean using this method. So far I have fallen off the wagon for short periods of time - allowing a 'todo' item to stick in my inbox because I know I would see it the next day. For the largest portion of time I do have an empty inbox and it does feel good and productive.
I have on occasion been asked, did you get 'such-n-such' email and had no clue. A blank stare back or a 'hum a few bars' request usually helped to snap the memory back into shape.
I have learned to jockey my email search engine and several times it has saved the day within only a few minutes. I have to believe this is an improvement over scrolling down thousands of emails in the inbox to find whatever this person is talking about. Overall I am quite happy with this program and may even suggest it to others drowning in inbox overload.
Regretfully, my boss has yet to take it seriously and twice during this testing phase has reverted to email bankruptcy as I stifle an evil chuckle.

Sketch - Conch
A conch I drew many years ago. I don't know why it insists on being rotated 90 degrees.
Sketch - Chopin
So I'm on a bus in Poland going from Warsaw to Poznan. We stopped to visit a memorial devoted to Chopin - a composer that Poland is so very proud of. We were handed pamphlets of an event in his honor. I found his face to be interesting in an artistic sense.
Sketch - Fenceposts
Probably the first sketch I've been able to spend a good amount of time on in a long time.
Sketch - Plantation in Baton Rouge
The memory I had of a plantation we toured in Baton Rouge. I learned why people say "Sleep Tight" and how they got rid of guests who had worn out their welcome.
Sketch - Police Cruiser
The future of mobile law enforcement - or at least what it was in my head at the time.
Sketch - My Cat in Chalk
She usually watches me draw while on her back, staring up at me. I don't know if she cares for my hobby. I think she would prefer to play.
Sketch - Entertainment Center Design Idea
An entertainment center and lounge that will probably never happen... except on this paper.
Sketch - Underneath Bridge (Ink)
Bored at Barnes and Noble, waiting.... So I sketched out a bridge and tried to give the impression I was underneath it. It came out as more of a confusing composition of metal. Oh well.
