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.

currently I am an intern...

currently I am an intern at Discover Network. I am a senior at Bradley University majoring in Computer Information Systems and Risk Management & Insurance, minoring in German. I'm highly involved on campus: I'm a chapter officer for my fraternity, I hold 2 positions for my campus' Relay for Life, ACM, Evolutionary Algorithms research group, club ultimate frisbee. So GTD has been a godsend.

My tools, an L-desk in my fraternity room, my palm+notepad case. My palm is a clie and has some drawing software where I can scribble some quick notes and have it stored as jpg. My messenger bag containing all my necessities: writing instruments, water bottle, business cards, currently with allergy season Claritin-D. I ditched the wallet for the Steinhauser money clip that was on one of the other GTD sites whose name escapes me currently.

I've experimented some with polyphasic sleep. Not recommended if you know you won't get disturbed. 10+2*5 in my experiences works for dashes but not for stuff like reading for a class or anything that requires more focus.

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. »
