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

Not only for Emory, but does anyone have any tips on printing the DIYPlanner HPDA 3x5s? I'm using an HP Photosmart 7450. The margins look fine, but actually feeding the cards into the printer's a real hassle. It can do 4x6 photos perfectly (even has a feeder for that), but the 3x5 come out crooked. Looks like I'm going to a.) build a custom feeder in the style of high school wood shop, or b.) buy a new printer.

Stew, I am printing mine on an HP printer at work (OfficeJet 4100 AIO), and the only problem I have run into is the bottom margin. I use the sliding paper width guide thing (that's the technical name for it, i'm sure) to push up against the card stack and push them in until they meet a little resistance. After that, the printer feeds them in and prints wonderfully. The cards print straight, but the bottom margin is considerably larger than the .125 of the DIY planner. In Acrobat Reader's print setting though there was a setting to make the document conform to the printer's margins, and that fixed it for me. Good luck.

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. »
