[Whitepaper, haha] My System for GTD

Is there a desktop sticky program like google?

Here is a great link to Dmitri Zimine's blog about his 15 Minutes to Move Your Project Ahead. I have worked with Dmitri and he has put GTD to the test in his life as a software team manager.

Thesis planning

Rule the Web show: Merlin Mann, Wednesday, July 18, 5pm Pacific

Forgot to mention that my pal, Boing Boing's Mark Frauenfelder, recently was kind enough to have me on his Rule The Web podcast (which is a companion to his swell new book).

We talked about jobs, procrastination, clutter, and a bunch of other stuff. We also took calls from a couple people, dishing out advice on topics like where to park ideas and how to fight distraction.

You can listen on Mark's site, download an MP3, or listen using the player below.

Mentioned in passing: del.icio.us, DEVONthink, Yojimbo, Mental Case (app whose name I forgot), In Our Time, and The Sound of Young America.

I'm not sure how anyone feels about the Sapir-Whorf Hypothesis - the idea that the words we use shape the way we think or exist - but I'm much happier knowing that the word "lagom" is out there.

I am entering it into my person lexicon forthwith.

Hello, [sorry if this is the wrong forum, first post, though I think I'm in the right place...]

Suggestions for Good Outliner for my PDA

• Writing - Cooking - Life » Blog Archive » I Heart Zappos - "Big and lush and fragrant. I opened the card, and it was from Zappos." What a lovely story. I'm a huge customer service nerd, and this one really got me. [via: Waxy.org]
• I can not use my vacation responder [Gmail] - This workaround fixed a problem I'd been having for days with Gmail's vacation responder. My only addition? First change the language to something like "English (UK)", make the noted change, then switch back to "US" after it's working. Weird-ass bug.
• How to Clean a Water Dispenser - wikiHow - Mine was turning orange inside. Which, upon reflection, seems kind of unhygienic.
• How to control ones ADHD | Ask MetaFilter - "Are there any natural NON PRESCRIPTION drugs or techniques to help and develop my ability to focus?"
• Motivation - While "Motivation" is still my favorite, I'll admit that my careful plan for paternity leave is starting to unintentionally look a lot like "Apathy."
• Martha Mitchell effect - "The Martha Mitchell effect is the process by which a psychiatrist, psychologist, or other mental health clinician mistakes the patient's perception of real events as delusional and misdiagnoses accordingly." I'll bet psychologists hate it when their patients learn about this.
• iPhone Nextbus - SF MUNI riders: so far this is my favorite iPhone NextBus app I've seen [thanks, Nelson]
• Best. Day. Ever. - The always-wonderful Oliver Sacks' wikipedia entry shows him wearing my favorite Mule shirt. Made my week. ♥ Dr. Sacks. Catch him on this 2006 Radio Lab episode.
