I made a to do list at the start of this week and here's a progress report:
Sort out the registration for a .ie project that I'll be involved in: Check, I got this sorted earlier in the week so that's step one of the project completed.
Get to the bank: Check, as soon as I completed the list, this was the forst ting I took care off.

Stop neglecting TopCommentator.com: Check, I'm actually working on this right now. I've completed the about page and one other article and I've come up with a few ideas for articles and for kicking the project off next week. I'll be getting stuck in to the site itself from tomorrow and throughout the week.
Discuss other projects that I've partnered up on: As I mentioned earlier, this one is ongoing and I've come up with another idea that's open for discussion since posting the to do list.
Complete the styling on CallumPhotography.com: I've spent about 10 minutes on this so far and should only need another 10 or 20 to complete it.
Lay down some plans for kicking off my first WordPress plugin: As i said, I'll be giving myself a bit of time on this one, but I've made some notes and now have a clearer direction where this is going.
Sort out passwords and ftp details for a couple of sites that I've partnered up on: I've been getting this together and will be passing on tomorrow, along with the progress I've made on top commentator so far as this one of the projects I've partnered up on.
Add some more content to RudeVid.com: I'd made a start on this one already and I've added 8 videos to the site since. 8 isn't a lot, but I have a steady stream lined up to automatically post another 2 per day for the next few weeks.
Make a list of things that I want to change on the appearance of this blog: Check, see previous post.
Spend some time off the computer: Check, I've played 2 hours of 5 aside football on Tuesday and Thursday and have another game lined up as soon as I'm finished this post. When I went to Blackpool, I bought some fishing gear as I wanted to start fishing. I've been out for about 4 or 5 hours this week with not so much as a bite but it was a good laugh. We got a speedboat a few weeks back too so some of the time spent fishing was out on that too, the fresh air made me sleep about a 100 times better at night!

Here's my checklist/ to do list for the week to ensure things get done:
Sort out the registration for a .ie project that I'll be involved in. I'm partnering up on this project with someone else and plan on releasing it in August or September. More on this one later...
Get to the bank and sort out the money to pay my company taxes for the second quarter of 2009.
Stop neglecting TopCommentator.com and start making some progress on it. You won't see this on the site but I'll be writing some articles for it behind the scenes. I think I need to move the launch date for Top Commentator to pressurise myself into getting things done!
Discuss other projects that I've partnered up on. I'm already on top of this one as I've been having some pretty good ongoing talks about a few projects that I've teamed up over the last few weeks. I just want to continue this good work and keep the ideas moving forward.
Complete the styling on CallumPhotography.com and hand version 1.00 of the site over to the owner.

Lay down some plans for kicking off my first WordPress plugin to display random images on your blog. There's already plugins there to do this and I'm normally not one for re-inventing the wheel but this is a learning based project to hopefully give me the experience to create more custom ideas later on. I'm pretty confident I can do this, but I want to spend some time on it and make sure it's correct as I'll be trying to get it added to the WordPress plugins directory. I need to specify exactly where I want to take this project. I was thinking about it over the weekend and there's loads of ways I can go to make the plugin as adaptable as possible but I need to set limits to get things done. I know myself from working on previous projects that I might delay things to add in lots of features in search of perfection and to cover all eventualities/scenarios. Sometimes working like this is a good trait and sometimes it's not! For this project I need a version 1.00 spec., I want to keep things simple and I need to work towards getting that done within the next month.
Sort out passwords and ftp details for a couple of sites that I've partnered up on and pass them on to my partner.
Add some more content to RudeVid.com. I've made a start on this one already.
Make a list of things that I want to change on the appearance of this blog. There's things I'm not happy with and I'll want to resolve them and release another version of this blog before the end of the Summer. If I make this list not it sets the wheels in motion.
Spend some time off the computer. I found that I spent loads of time last week on the computer and didn't really get a lot done for the time I spent. If I take a bit more time away I'll be thinking about what I'm getting back to and will become more focused on getting things done fast. One of the reasons for putting this list up here is to focus on changing this this week and getting things done correctly one step at a time.
