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.

Student

I'm a grad student working on my PhD in Turfgrass Science. Seriously. I'm better considered as a plant physiologist (think internist for plants), but my main focus is in the physiology of turfgrasses as it relates to them in the use for athletic fields. Layman's terms: I grow grass on football fields.

I was a dead duck before I found 43f and GTD. My advisor works very differently than I do and we were about ready to kill each other because he didn't understand my set-up and couldn't as such find my productivity. Since implementing the program he's now my biggest fan (I can very easily show him exactly what I've been doing and when) and I'm surprising myself by getting more "things" done than I thought I could do....I sound like an infomercial.

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. »
