Calendars, Reminders and GTD

All,

So, I have a new post up on my site that is a little Backpack focused but also applies to GTD in general. Much seems to be written by the GTD crowd out there about next actions, projects, someday/maybes, inbox and collection, e-mail, etc. but not much about how and when to use a calendar and how that fits with GTD. Given how many meetings, lunches, seminars, classes and other time and date based activities one who actually needs GTD probably has, I am quite surprised by this. Therefore, it is time to pick up the flag and start running.

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. »
