Doing. I think I've...

Doing. I think I've either committed to things I don't want to do, or more than likely haven't specified the NA correctly.

I'm not sure about reviewing yet having only done a couple.

The ones I have done seem to add a few new tasks, add a new project, look at the list and go "oh I have lots to do" and "oh good I actually completed some stuff" then I think "What's the point of doing this again?"

I think it might be too early to tell though. At the moment I have such a backlog of actual rubbish tasks (mostly involving selling stuff I no longer use or tedious tasks) that getting motivated to do them is sometimes hard.

When I get through them, I think life will be smoother and easier to manage.

One thing though is when you write down everything you have committed to it doesn't actually seem that much (I think I have about 100 tasks), or at least seemed a lot worse when it was just in my head.

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. »
