I was just wondering if anyone has read this book? I have read GTD (a couple of times now, and I'm still thumbing through it) and I wondered if it is worth also buying this book, or if it just covers the same material as the first one. I suppose I feel that there are some gaps in GTD, but to some extent I suspect that I will have to figure them out for myself.

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. »

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. »
