I have booked my hotel for BlogHer &#8216;10 more than eight months in advance.

I can&#8217;t leave my office each night without making a list of what needs to be done the next day.
I love calendars and clocks.
Right now, I am surrounded by three calendars and three timekeeping devices.
I hate clutter.
