GTD: Meeting Mantra

In: GTD

6 Jun 2005

Jeffrey Philllips has a GREAT post on how to make your meetings more effective. [here]
I had already started applying these instinctively, but to see it codified gives me hope that we can pound this into a few people’s skulls. It is a serious contributing factor to people failing at GTD.
When you start to actually analyze [...]

37Signals’ Backpack is the current darling of the GTD crowd. The praise and joy is flooding through the universe as the influencers and blogerati espouse this new saviour. One example here.
Maybe I still don’t get it. Maybe I never will.
It’s a ToDo list. Electronic ToDo lists don’t do it for me. I think I live [...]

I like to entertain myself by typing random words into your search engine and seeing what comes up.
I know: blows GTD all to hell. But it is interesting to see what is out there.
Anyway, the search function has been busted all day.
Gonna be back soon?
Thanks!

I found the Mead Brights Hipster PDA case photos!

It’s brilliant…but there is still no way to determine who the mysterious “marijane” is….

Ok, on Friday, May 27, I saw a very cool hack for the 3″ X 5″ Hipster PDA — The Mead Brights Index card dispenser.
I went and bought said device at Walgreens on Saturday.
Thing is, I have no idea who to give credit to!
HELP!

Merlin at 43Folders hits for six with this post that, in summary, says
 
GTD: What are you doing to make it happen in YOUR life? 
In the world of GTD, having a Moleskine and a HipsterPDA doesn’t cut it folks. It’s hard. It requires discipline. It requires dedication.
