student organization

as a high school student a lot of files come through my computer. i have been using journler to organize all my files, journler entries, omnioutliner, pages, and the rest. smart folders and the other features keep it all organized. i want to know if there is any other program that would do the same as journler but more student centered. i do keep all my files in it as well so it cant be just a journal program. price isn't an issue.

Not sure... but want to get better

I have read the book... and am still not sure it is the right system for me. However I am not sure it isnt...

I am having trouble with the todo list idea. The problem is surely too many buckets for information, which have stemmed lately from my push to write everything down that I might need to remember.

I put recurring work reminders in Outlook (for the pop up nag) Use MS One Note for most notes and other items. Have an account at remember the milk for tasks and Gcal syncing with my treo 700p OTA (using http://www.goosync.com).

Merlin speaks @ BayCHI, Tuesday in Palo Alto

Tuesday, March 14, 2006: Monthly Program (BayCHI)

Just a reminder that tomorrow night I'll be speaking at the monthly BayCHI meeting down in Palo Alto.

OSAF's estimable Mimi Yin and I will be talking about Getting Things Done partly in theory but mostly in practice; Mimi will focus on how Chandler is being developed to support GTD practices, and I'll be addressing the ways behavioral change can help enhance any tools and methodologies we've chosen to improve productivity.

As far as I can tell, it's free and open to the public, so if you're in the 'hood, stop by and watch me stammer along in front of a really, really smart audience. Talk about intimidating.


Edit 2006-03-15 07:51:15: Had a great time last night. Very fun and lively crowd. Here's my slides, if you like that sort of thing.

Apparently there will be a podcast of Mimi and my talks forthcoming, so keep an eye out. (Thanks, Steve!)

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. »
