Our Most Popular PostsLife as Roleplaying Game: beyond metaphorduus | Oct 20 2007UPDATED. The purpose of those post is to start a discussion on viewing self-betterment/productivity hacking/etc as a role-playing-game-like character advancement process. I have read some places of this idea as a compelling metaphor, but I am considering the value of moving it beyond metaphor, to the point that I am literally creating a "character class" for myself and designing a character sheet, etc. read more »7 Comments

Mac Mail.app: keyboard "move" folder select?duus | May 20 2008Hello. On PINE (my old mail program) I could file mail quickly; "s foldername" would file the current message into foldername. (I could even tab-complete!) I would LOVE to be able to do that on Mail.app: a keyboard-only way to file messages. Does anyone know of any way to do that? (Looked on Versiontracker, googled it; I found nothin'.) POSTED IN:

becoming a GTD coachNathan Miller | Nov 26 2007I've been learning and using GTD for almost two years now. Thanks to Merlin and 43folders I never fell off the wagon! Now I find myself with less stress, less wondering what I should do next, and more productivity. I'm also at a point where I can sort of do whatever I want, which is really nice. Becoming a GTD person isn't without it's problems. Mainly, it's frustrating working with people who aren't working productively. That's why I've been considering a slight change in career (or at least adding to my current career)- I'd like to teach others how to GTD! read more »POSTED IN:
