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

Labelers

...or not labelers? Sheeplike, I bought a Brother P-Touch labeler because The David said I had to. :) I've used it on occasion, but for the life of me, I don't understand how it's better at labeling file folders than a seven-cent (in bulk) ballpoint pen. What am I missing?

Hehe - you're probably right about that. But if it helps me actually file the stuff that I end up inundated with, I'm all for it. As an added bonus, it's helped my son become a little more organised too, as I've labelled his clothes drawers.

But as with all these things, what works for some may not work for others.

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. »
