Side effect of Productive talk podcasts

I started GTD last January, read the book and implemented a system, which is mostly working for me.

I downloaded and listened to the Productive talk series from the main site before Christmas and found them very interesting.

Now, after a year, I've started re-reading GTD to try and refresh myself and find things I missed the first time through. I'm finding as I read it I hear Mr Allen's voice in my head, complete with the way he talks.

It really is quite spooky.

Sorry mad Friday lunctime idea...:)

yep

that happens to me, too. I read a book by the Dali Lama, and the translator had caught his mode of English so well that it was like listening to him speak.

I think it's a sign of a vigorous imagination - a well-wired brain...... :)

I did note that Mr Allen seems a little frustrated with a lot of the typical questions - I wonder if he's kind of 'had enough' of the whole GTD juggernaut. Then again, there are always the same dumb-ass questions you get from lazy wannabes on the forum of any topic you care to mention.

I find now that I've started actually implementing the system, instead of just thinking about it, that re-reading is very useful - it makes a lot more sense and is less overwhelming.

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. »
