Merlin's top 5 super-obvious, "no-duh" ways to immediately improve your life
Merlin Mann | Oct 11 2006
How to get organized and stay that way When I was up in Toronto last week, I was interviewed by Samantha Grice from the National Post about 43 Folders, productivity stuff, and the sad sorry state of my own day-to-day productivity. Very "Brady's Bits." As a sidebar to the little profile she wrote, Samantha also asked me to draft a few words on my favorite fast tips for getting it together. Although these will each be painfully old news for you who've been with 43F for a while, I wanted to share the original draft of what I came up with, because it's sufficient as a cocktail-napkin version of what I think 43 Folders has to say to people. You may share it with the disorganized and confused in your own life, if you like. I also loved the limitations of this particular exercise: 300 or so words in five bullets that represent my best day-one tricks. Due in minutes. My kind of challenge. Although I did go over on word count, and I'll own that. Herewith: **Merlin's top 5 super-obvious, "no-duh" ways to immediately improve your life.**
