Circus Ponies' NoteBook and 'Getting Things Done'

Hello from Iowa. I'm a research chemist who happened upon Merlin Mann's site while searching for family history (my mother's ancestors were Manns).

I love GTD and am slowly incorporating more and more principles into my life and work.

Questions for your most important goals!

OK, this is a bit embarrassing, but I really need to get some work done, and somehow it just doesn't work: suddenly, my mac seems to have become a huge playground. You wouldn't believe how easily I'm distracted. I feel like I can't use Word for longer than 10 minutes, I just HAVE to check emails, surf the net, read 43folders, and what have you. Really, it's awful.

Hello- I am a graduate student at George Mason University in the Human Factors and Applied Cognition program. My current project is understand tasks that people perform on a daily basis in both their personal and business life.

I am post this since I have not receive many responses to my survey when I have posted it to other site forums.
