  • GTD and Inbox Zero

    I’ve been working at getting my “stuff” under control and as part of that I’ve read GTD and am working at getting is implemented and established as a habit in my life. So far, it’s going fairly well, but time will tell. Hey Google, runs GTD courses for it’s employees!

    An empty email in-box seems like a nirvana goal, and it has some appeal to me. My work email has over 200 things in the in-box that may have been read, but not processes. I’m reading the series in 43 Folders and just watched the video. It’s good stuff.

    New: Merlin’s Inbox Zero Presentation

    Merlin does a live presentation on Inbox Zero from time to time. The latest version of the presentation was delivered on July 23, 2007 at a Google Tech Talk in Mountain View, CA. You can download a PDF of the slides for the presentation and can watch the 58-minute video of the talk and Q&A right here:

  • Last Ride?

    Today, may have been the last ride with FOG (they really need to jazz up the website). It was -4 at the start and about 14 guys started the ride. By Lockport, a mere 45 minutes into the ride we lost a few and 10 carried on over the Lockport bridge to Birdshill park. This was a change in the typical route and despite an extra lap around the park we were back at the parking lot in under 3 hours and only 74km compared to the typical 95-100km.

    The cold has really taken it’s toll on the group size. Last week, the drop out rate was even higher and only 3 of us when the full distance. While there is no snow yet and the roads are fine, I think I’ll be at the lake next weekend, and riding two weeks from now many be questionable, so this might be it for the season.

    With the cooler morning temperatures combined with the dark at 7am I’ve really lost the drive to cycle to work so I’m going to need to either toughen up or find a replacement activity for the winter to replace the cycling. Perhaps some evening cross country skiing? A great reason to buy some new gear as the current stuff is ancient.

    Oh yeah, I need to blog more. It’s been quite a dry spell.
