-Saturday is cleaning day. Day for tying loose ends. Sort, toss, tidy.
+Saturday is my cleaning day. I've recently started expanding the cleaning
+concept to my digital and management clutter. So it's a day for tying loose
+ends. Sort, toss, tidy. Finish and archive.

+This week has been about initiating the setup for our intern as well as developing
+and finishing a handfull of print jobs, a few still pending, needing to get
+done before monday morning. Work seems to come in waves.
-I've also said yes to read and correct spelling and markup mistakes in blog
-entries for a client, possibly providing him with graphics (already did the
-creative part of that). The actual work might be postponed untill tomorrow,
-but it's better to do it today, to take out stress of dealing with eventual
-failures and mistakes. It's never fun to do that last minute before - or even
-after the newsletter is sent out. Visit the blog [Vejviseren](http://byvandring.nu/vejviseren/]

+I'll start a new habit of backing up and updating my computer on Saturdays
+today. We use git for version control of our web sites, and I've started
+using it for my design documents, but lacked the habit tied to using it in that
+area of my work, so the archive is not up to date, and frankly, it's a mess,
+tying my effectiveness down when searching for reference files for new jobs for
+the same client.
-If I can squeeze it in, I would think it nice to spend some time in the garden,

-for a productive break from screen time. Compost, strawberry plants and the usual
-removal of a hundred out of thousands of small trees.
