I’ve been thinking about GTD systems a lot recently, and I’m worried I’m getting another GTD itch - where I feel a sudden and insatiable urge to change my system around. Currently I’m using the same old Hipster PDA system I’ve used for about seven or eight months on or off, but there are difficulties […]

Merlin has posted a review of his awesomest podcasts. I particularly recommend the Apostrophe one, because it’s hilarious and a great warning about procrastination

I’ve gotten more and more into Journalling for personal development lately, and it’s really neato. The kick in the behind to get me into it was this book: “The Artist’s Way: A Course in Discovering and Recovering Your Creative Self” (Julia Cameron), which is really good and which I thoroughly reccommend, it’s not just for […]

The Preamble

So I’ve been using a song tagging system based on ratings for a while now, (more on that here), but I’ve recently started using a different system to add more granularity to my tagging - for example, tagging my ‘Inspirational’ (2 star) list to separate the up-tempo numbers good for writing action from the […]

In looking at the weeks work, I notice […]

Awesome, I’d never have though of the keyboard cleaning fuctionality

I was never entirely happy with the default Quicksilver interface, Primer

There’s nothing really wrong with it, per se - in fact it’s excellent for people new to QS, what with the little bit of text at the bottom and the full item path. But I’m a visual thinker, and I often use Quicksilver for dropping […]

This is awesome. It’s a value test, kind of like those old things you used to get on Livejournal and still get on Myspace, except about a hojillion times more advanced. It takes about an hour and it’s quite an experience - you select a ton of different values from a list, and then it […]
