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. Not that fact that Facebook doesn’t work with Myspace and doesn’t work with Orkut or Xing. Let alone LinkedIn.

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 other key feature is never writing down projects, just the first task of that project. “You can’t do a project, just the tasks within a project” is one of David Allen’s mantras.

The simple summary is:

  • Process
  • Organize
  • Review
  • Do
