43Folders.com is Merlin Mann’s website about finding the time and attention to do your best creative work.

Yeah ok, it wasn't much of a pile but you have to bear in mind that it was condensed matter in there. Kryptonite. I had my exam certificates from school, my first grade piano exam certificate, all of my study notes from University, legal papers from two house purchases, a myriad of other papers interspersed with some truly insignificant rubbish. The reason it got that way was because I have always unconsciously implemented a kind of half-GTD where I filed but did not action.

*Phew* glad it is out of the way...

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. »
