Backpack

Anyone using Backpack (http://www.backpackit.com) as a organization tool or maybe for GTD lite? I've been using it regularly for the last month or so and wanted to hear from anyone who may have some tips/tricks/hacks.

Glad to help

I am glad that it was a help to you. Feel free to scan the archives of my blog to see other tips and tricks I use ( such as: http://patrickrhone.com/journal/archives/2005/09/101.html ), how I evolved to my current system and especially why I break tasks off of my other lists and onto my "Today" page. It is basically a modification of the "Not Insane To-Do list" found here:

That way, if I am only able to get a few things done on any given day, I don't feel so defeated by all of the other things I wish I had gotten done.

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. »
