My Name is Earl

Actually it isn't its Chris, but I've been doing GTD now for 2 weeks (I even remembered my weekly review yesterday) and had a thought over the weekend.

I saw an episode of My Name is Earl, (http://www.nbc.com/My_Name_Is_Earl/about.shtml if you don't know what it is about)

Seemed to me, he's doing a bit of GTD without even knowing it. He's written down a big list of NAs and he's plowing his way through them.

My question then is. "Regrets I have a few" as the song goes, should I really be getting these out of my head into my trusted system and then go try and complete them?

Seems a very scary thought..... (but then that might be the point).

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. »
