Whitepaper: GTD LoFi/HiFi by Emory

Enough people have been picking my brain lately about my workflow that I decided to document it. Heavily.

Published versions of this draft as I'm writing it will be available online and I will be commiting changes as I work on it.

I'll probably also post something on my weblog or in this thread when revisions are made.

Since email has been a hot topic lately, I started with that section, and I'll be documenting various other topics as I go.

Permalink for this doc will be: http://kvet.ch/pages/gtd-whitepaper-emory

I loved the article, and...

I loved the article, and yes it read like an erotic novel. I am not sure I agree that those who manage @NAs with a PDA are not busy enough. I mean, D.A. uses a Palm, right?

I love my Treo. I love how it handles my calendar. I love the access to e-mail and web when I need it (which is less than I actually use it). I can carry lots of reference materials and take pictures when I need to for reference.

I especially like how it syncs with Outlook. I am one of the apparently rare people who love the GTD Outlook Add-in. It is my "inbox zero" secret. I can file e-mail almost instantly as well as convert e-mail into NAs.

I just never feel great about NAs, and that is why I am drawn to the Hipster PDA.

If I can just get to where I don't feel like it is redundant copying tasks from Outlook the index cards, I will be set.

But I really think I am just looking for an excuse for buying a Levenger Rope Case. :)

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. »
