OCD compatibility and how it affects you

I have a small prob­lem: mild OCD. Things must be clean, organ­ised and sys­temised. There is a place for every­thing, and every­thing must go in its place. [my house­mates might dis­agree with me, but i stand by it]

My work­mates com­plain that I move files, or worse, delete them. I dont deny it, often my response is “well it wasnt in the right place!”

My old blog frus­trated me. Not the blog itself, but just the fact that it was so “off-to-the-side-and-out-of-sight”. It was just another part of my online per­son­al­ity: twit­ter, face­book, mobileme, tum­blr and wordpress.

That blog has died my friends.

I now have an inte­grated “lifestream” feed on my blog page [okay, so all this hype for a lifestream panel]. I used to use tum­blr to share links to cool pages, twit­ter to share witty remarks + inis­ght­ful thoughts and face­book to share pho­tos [and sta­tus updates with not-so-web-savvy friends].

Now when i find a use­ful link, I post it here. Attach a small cap­tion explain­ing my opin­ion, and press share. Twit­ter and face­book are updated, and my friends can also take a moment to peruse my lat­est twit­ter feed, other use­ful links + posts and my photos.

No more hav­ing 4 dif­fer­ent ser­vices to serve the same pur­pose. It is all com­ing together here. Its not quite fin­ished yet, but almost.

You can expect to find more links, more news, more images, more tips, here. Along with more of me. More organised.

More OCD compatible.
