On getting things done
Thursday, January 31st, 2008There seems to be a lot of talk on the internet about lifehacks and getting things done, people talking about the various methods you can use to stay on top of things, asking questions about which method is better and the what not. I am quite interested in the idea and definitely up for being more productive so had a bit of a look into some of the ideas. Turns out the 43 folders approach is actually quite an in depth method with actual folders and lists and acronyms and lots of books written on it. A little too much info for me.
While I totally salute the idea of being more productive, and there is some quite interesting content on the above sites, isn’t blogging about “what text files you use” a little counter productive to actually getting something done? Or am I missing the point? I mean really, it’s taken me ten minutes to write this. That’s time I could have spent picking the lint from my belly button or getting on top of other pressing matters.
