GTD - Don't Put All Your Eggs in One Basket

robertpolson | Nov 22 2006

Thinking about GTD and having one inbox for everything (or as little inboxes as possible), this saying comes to mind - Don't Put All Your Eggs in One Basket.

For example:

Gmail - Google Rss Reader - GCalendar - Google search engine - Writley, Notebook and other. It is great to have all in one single place and interact with it plus the mobility of this and access everytwhere, but what about these 2:

Privacy - Google knows everything about you.
Security - say you lose your password one day or someone discovers your password. Then all is gone.

What do you think ?

Cranking

Merlin used to crank. He’s not cranking any more.

This is an essay about family, priorities, and Shakey’s Pizza, and it’s probably the best thing he’s written. »

Scared Shitless

Merlin’s scared. You’re scared. Everybody is scared.

This is the video of Merlin’s keynote at Webstock 2011. The one where he cried. You should watch it. »
