2009 in Status Updates - Creativity & Productivity

I actually really enjoy looking back past year each January. When I found a Facebook app called "Year in Status Updates" I was psyched! I could view all of my status updates for 2009! So this is what I chose to "update" the world on via Facebook.

Here are the status updates relating to my creativity and productivity. I'm learning a lot from looking at this list, especially how much I have procrastinated on projects in '09. I'm trying to figure out how to do things differently this year.
