Very helpful post for me...

Very helpful post for me particularly, duien, as I'm addicted to my Franklin system (NOT Covey -- the original Franklin system) and was trying to figure out whether I'd be able to combine it with GTD before buying the book. Looks like it will!

The aspect of the Franklin system that worked so well for me was writing down everything and keeping it in one place. I carried a huge high school notebook sized planner for years. This year I finally scaled down to a small one, and now am looking forward to learning how to deal with "stuff."

Now off to Amazon....

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. »
