This feeds on itself

iPhone weather app screen shot
Some people still wait for the TV weather person for the forecast. Others find out in seconds.

 

Most people have no idea how much their disorganization is slowly destroying their spirit.

Being unorganized feeds on itself.

It can never get better, and in fact can only get worse, if we never get better.

Pretty organized yesterday.

Made hot breakfast for a 15-year old before sunrise.

Staying organized is a moving target

Apple Watch shopping
Cheryl got to try on some Watches.

 

At the Apple Store “open training” session yesterday, i discovered something i didn’t understand. You cannot store things in iCloud storage that aren’t on your Mac. If you delete it off your Mac, it automatically deletes off of iCloud.

iCloud is not a virtual external hard drive for everything. It only backs up what you physically have on your computer.

Lesson learned. Grateful for the clarification, even though it defeats my hopes.

Dropbox is the likely solution.

Staying organized is a moving target.

Editor’s note (100 days later, today Nov. 19): i am not using Drop Box, nor any other storage platform.
