I'm back

Didn't blog for a while. I won't blame time, too much work or something in particular.
To be honest, I didn't miss me on the blog, even though I was almost the only reader (there was a comment from someone long time ago regarding the GTD Hipster PDA).
I did a lot of analyzing and from my blog reading experience I figured that a post from a blog shouldn't be bigger than 20 or 30 lines of text.
Such a post should be concise and transmit something. If you have more than one idea that you want to discuss, use another post.
Maybe there should be Mini blogs, short and full of knowledge.

My GTD Implementation

For GTD to work, you must find a way to implement your own organizing system that you can trust. You must trust your system for it to work. If you think that your system might not be good enough for capturing all the stuff that gets your attention, it won’t be successful. You must free your mind from the task of remembering everything that you need to do, and focus on actually doing those things. So I have built myself my own PDA, Hipster PDA that is. Even if it sounds like something highly technologic and expensive, it isn’t. It’s just a bunch of index cards and a binder clip to hold them together. Maintaining lists on these index cards it’s all you have to do. You can have an index card for each context. For example I have the following cards: @ Work – list of next action items that revolve around the “work” context @Home – self explanatory @Calls and Emails – list with calls I have to make and emails I have to write @Agenda – actions that depend on other people (meetings, @Some...

Using time

Time is precious. Especially these days when change seems to be occurring everywhere. That's why there are so many time scheduling techniques around now more than ever. Wasting time becomes a luxury and using it well becomes a skill. There is a concept of "interstitial time". This is the time between scheduled tasks, like writing a blog, weeding the garden, sleeping or being in a conference. Interstitial time is bonus time, because most of us don't ever think of using it, so this is a good resource. Use it well and it's a very valuable resource. When you are waiting at the dentist, when you wait for tea to be ready in the morning, when you drink your tee (coffee), when you are going with the bus, you have interstitial time, time that can be used for greater good. And one way of using it is to read something useful in these small periods of time. I always carry around reading material that helps me improve my skills in some area that I think it needs improvement. T...
