Productivity Humor

I’m sure everyone who has drank the GTD koolaid has found their way to Merlin Mann’s 43 folders blog. When I saw he had a podcast, I figured “why listen when I can read it” (soon I’ll be able to get it in my prefered format of cuneiform), but you gotta give the podcasts a listen; it’s pretty funny stuff.

 

Don’t over-think it!

Here’s some advice that I’ve read on quite a few GTD related blogs recently.  Actually I think it should be the first thing anyone reads before trying to implement their own GTD system.  I know I’ve spent waaaaay to much time messing around with a million tools when I could have been actually getting things done! 

What else is empty?

In an article on CNN.com, Bush was asked what he carries in his pockets. Elsewhere (I really should keep track of where I read this stuff) someone commented that the contents of Bush’s pockets was analagous to a saying that “the fewer keys you have, the more power you have” or something like that. I was thinking that the less you have in your pockets, the less you have in your head.

This also reminded me of a cool Flickr tag: what’s in your bag?
