SplashShopper: Shopping List Manager for Palm (and the Desktop)Merlin Mann | Jan 3 2005I have squirrely phases that repeat like clockwork.

A Year of Getting Things Done: Part 1, The Good StuffMerlin Mann | Dec 29 2004I recently realized that this month marks one year since I started using Getting Things Done in earnest. With the calendar year closing, it seems like an apt time to look back at what’s worked, what hasn’t, and where I’d like to see GTD heading in the future. (This is part one of three in a series that runs through Friday.) read more »POSTED IN:
