    Oh, poop. Someone beat me to it. Ah, well, I will add it to my wish list. *hug*

    Happy to send it along — just finished it this afternoon! It is enormously helpful at the moment - really resolved one of my huge blocks today, as I realized that my messiness and lack of space and time does not inhibit my creativity, but my lack of creativity is creating my messiness and lack of space and time…..

    Seems simple, but is quite complex, actually.
