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.

I was a program administrator...

I was a program administrator for a dairy food corporate but was made redundant last month. My higher altitude goals are suddenly a lot more relevant!

This is the part of GTD that I (and I suspect most other people) do badly and I have been shown that no matter how efficient I am on a day to day level the 3 year objectives and progress towards them are crucial when the daily comfort zone disappears. With the help of a good advisor, friends and family I am sure that everything will work out but I can't help feeling that "if only" I had worked harder on the high altitude reviews that I would have been more prepared.

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. »
