GTD for homemakers?

What about GTD in the home? My wife looks after 2 kids under 2, studies part time and works nights... it seems to me like she's the perfect candidate for a GTD system, but how do I help her with it?

She certainly doesn't have time to read the book or browse life-hacking sites like this one the way that i can...

we've got a little white-board and an in tray in the kitchen...

what else?

Don't forget us Stay-At-Home Dads/Husbands....

Don't forget us Stay-At-Home Dads/Husbands. Often we have just as much work and then the added responsibilities of household repair, vehicle maintenance, and yardwork. (Luckily my wife is rather understanding in that arena, being a phenomonal cook she still manages to make dinner most evenings after coming home from work. If it were left to me it'd be hot dogs and Mac & Cheese forever... ick!)

I keep intending to check out FlyLady.net and the others for household tips but being a wannabe writer makes 43folders more "fun" to follow in the organizational area.

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. »
