"GTD Lite"

Brad Blackman | Jan 11 2006

is there a "GTD Lite" out there, for applying the GTD method without going overboard with the whole thing? i think to some people it's so enormous that it's un-doable, or too complicated.

One thing: weekly review

Submitted by terceiro on January 13, 2006 - 10:50am.

If I had to boil a successful GTD implementation down to just one thing, it would be the weekly review. Everything else is just details. I'm happy if I'm doing a weekly review, even if my lists are a mess (uh... what lists?) or if my calendar is blank (or missing) and my file system is untrustworthy.

Of course, the weekly review is also probably the hardest part of the system as well.

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. »
