Life is too short to see only the downsides. My journey through life needs to be like Little Miss Sunshine.

Looking at the positives, no matter how small, in each and every moment.

Do I celebrate each little step or do I count the steps still to be taken?

Module 3 : Method to the madness

Google docs where have you been???

For so long life has been a mess of documents, draft after draft. I like to keep the originals so that I can see the changes I have made, to refer back to where I have been before - to go over what I was thinking and to look back at what I had created previously. Revisions of timetables, class programs, reports, individual learning plans, assignments, budgets, to do lists, and on it goes. The constant renaming, the attaching to emails (or the erasing and the forgetting to attach to emails). Then there is the document that comes back with the same name that I accidentally delete or the document that doesn't come back at all.
At last, here comes my saviour, Google docs. My online filing cabinet that always keeps the current file at the top of the pile. But the best part is, I can decide who has a key to my filing cabinet, they can access the files whenever they choose and wherever they choose, saving the changes before they go. This application is truly going to revolutionise my life. It makes me realise that I haven't been leaving a digital footprint. Up until now I have been leaving an avalanche of footprints, documents all over the place. So many copies, with everyone making their own amendments. It's like a whirlwind that is out of control. But finally there is a button on the remote that can slow it down to a slight breeze. Google docs you are truly going to change my digital life!!
