The Complete Idiot's Guide to Getting Things Done

Does anyone know anything about this book? Is it a knock-off of the David Allen book?

I saw it at Borders...

I saw it at Borders on my lunch break yesterday. It's like an over-verbose version of the book with a lot of extra stuff thrown in. They must've thought DA's version wasn't clear enough. (For me the only difficult thing was the big-picture stuff, which isn't really addressed in the book.)

I suppose the clear, concise style of Allen's book isn't enough for the people who think more is more.

(Which sort of makes sense given some of the client e-mails I've seen that use whole paragraphs to describe something I could've described in one sentence.)

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. »
