I've taken on a new role at work this year and it's been a 2-month slog trying to get to something resembling productivity. Not having a clear idea of what I (or my group) is trying to achieve is has gradually moved from an annoyance into a full-fledged drag. So what to do about it?
The developers of ThinkingRock--my current favorite GTD (Getting Things Done) tool--have released a Gamma version of their 2.0 version. But only for Mac! "Woe is me!," said I. At least until I noticed that ZZamboni had already knocked out some screenshots from his Mac...
All worthwhile endeavors--large or small--start with an idea.
This blog started with my realization that I was not the only person on the planet who was obsessed with figuring out ways to do more things with less time and effort. A lot of the reason for this realization is due to Merlin Mann and his excellent blog of personal productivity, 43 Folders.
Looking back, this all started when my old monitor began burning one evening.
Now, I know what you're thinking, "Sweet! Did you get a picture of it?!" But it wasn't really that sort of burning. Rather, it was more of a, "<sniff, sniff> What is that smell? I'll go check it out." kind of burning. So, after quite a bit of sniffing, I narrowed the source of the circuit-board-in-the-frying-pan smell to the back of my old home desktop CRT.
