Yes, I'm one of those annoying people that read The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up. I started tidying (which should be called "throwing out") on January 1, and while I don't think my life has changed much, I've definitely learned some things.

Obsession, change, and superstition — tales from the sequel
File this under More Bitching About Writing a Sequel. Over the summer I wrote a post about my writing rituals and the magic number of words I needed to write to feel I was 'done' for the day.
