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

Where can I buy pre-made 43 folder tickler system?

I use something called an "everyday" file, that I got at Staples or Office Depot, which is essentially the accordian-style box laid on its side, with the 1-31 and Jan-Dec tabs on the right.

Advantage - lays flat, looks nice (I customized the original boring blue cover slightly with collage one day when I was NOT getting things done.)
Disadvantage - it lays flat, and if I should knock it off the desk, everything will fall out. So far this hasn't happened, but I bet it easily could.

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. »
