Whitepaper: GTD LoFi/HiFi by Emory

Enough people have been picking my brain lately about my workflow that I decided to document it. Heavily.

Published versions of this draft as I'm writing it will be available online and I will be commiting changes as I work on it.

I'll probably also post something on my weblog or in this thread when revisions are made.

Since email has been a hot topic lately, I started with that section, and I'll be documenting various other topics as I go.

Permalink for this doc will be: http://kvet.ch/pages/gtd-whitepaper-emory

Good stuff

Hey Emory,

Really enjoyed the white paper. Two questions for you:

1) What's the template for the middle card in the front row of the bleachers? I looked through the DIY Planner templates and couldn't find a card that looked similar?

2) What do you do about backing up, particularly the project cards? I was doing exclusively hPDA last summer and then lost my hPDA. (Turned out to be at my parents and got it back 4 months later.) So now I'm a bit paranoid about having everything on paper without some sort of electronic copy. In your white paper you wrote that you take pictures of the cards with your phone, but that seemed be only after you were finished with a card.

-Joel

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. »
