What does everyone do for a living

What does everyone do for a living? Just curious. Want to see if I can relate to anyone and how GTD plays out in their work.

I am a manager for a restaurant.

My day job is that...

My day job is that I'm a graphic designer at a small (but very fun and fulfilling) marketing firm.

By night, I'm an artist who loves to paint large canvases.

How does GTD fit into all that? Good question. I think a lot of it is being aware of what's going on when and where, and what needs to be done. I'd say the most important categories for me are @Errands, @Online, and @Work. Then I have a list of things to do @Studio, which will really kick into gear once I get my house hunting done and I'm moved into a new place, with a room designated to be my studio.

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. »
