GTD newbie needs some help.

Hey All- I just started working through GTD and tried to implement it this past weekend. So far, it's been largely a success, but there are a few areas that are a little fuzzy. The book instructs you to buy 3 paper holding bins. I did, and now use one for my "in" basket, one for blank sheets of paper and the last is sitting on the ground collecting dust. (Cleaning my office is in "In", don't worry).

So, my first question is: What the heck are the other two bins for?

Thanks for your help.

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. »
