Should anyone ask, it’s getting tempting.

I hate getting messages in Facebook. I have email. It’s filtered the way I like. I can use it on my mobile phone. It works in Thunderbird. I like the idea of Social Networks, just not the implementations. Not the roach-motel nature of uploading content and never getting it back.

Should anyone ask, I use GTD

GTD is short for Getting Things Done. It’s a system for doing just that. Doing things, not worrying about them by writing things down and making lists The list then allows you to stop worrying about the task.

The simple summary is:

  • Process
  • Organize
  • Review
  • Do
