Moving Tips?

Does anyone have any tips or ideas on moving, especially as filtered through the lens of GTD?

I bought a house that needs a little fixing up, and am in the middle of removing wallpaper, etc. I've created a rather lengthy list of things to do to the house in OmniOutliner Pro, but I wonder if anyone has any GTD-oriented ideas on moving.

From my own experience, this _sounds_ like a good idea in the beginning, but turns into a real mess, as it allows you to never quite wrap up at the place you're moving from. Now, since you're moving from your parents' place, this burden might not be nearly as heavy, but I think the incremental move allows for the possibility of putting off indefinitely what you think are little tasks -- cleaning out the bathroom or the back of the closet -- but that turn into real bears when you're tired and you just want to know where the shampoo is. So watch out for the inclination so think, "Aah, that'll be easy, I'll take care of that on the last trip."

nearly three years and counting, and theres still some of my stuff at my parent's house :)

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. »
