Help Please

I saw something recently about scheduling your week and all of your normal activities before scheduling your work. There was a "buzz word" describing this technique and I can't for the life of me remember what it was.

Moleskine, hPDA or both?

I don't own/use a Moleskine or a hPDA. But I can see how writing stuff down can be extremely useful.

What do you recommend? Do you use both? Why? and how do you use them?

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. »
