How to keep getting things done
43 Folders talks about why things like Getting Things Done work in Systems, ciphers, and the dirty little secret of self-improvement
My theory is that the secret code for most self-improvement systems—from Getting Things Done through Biofeedback and the Atkins diet—is not hard to break; any idea that helps you to become more self-aware can usually help you to reach a goal or affect a favorable solution. That’s pretty much the entire bag of doughnuts right there.
So, it isn't just a matter of reading the book, huh? Someone showed up at KM Chicago last night with a copy of GTD in his hands, and we had a funny little conversation about the need to keep Getting Things Done. I need to apply these ideas. Evaluate how I am doing. And repeat. I am allowed to "fall off the wagon," but I have to also give myself permission to jump back on without feeling terribly guilty about it. It's all part of the learning and growing process.

You might find BrainStorm useful. It enables you to capture knowledge and information effortlessly, and provides the tools for you to organize and develop it. I believe that information structure should evolve from content, rather than be predetermined. Of course, BrainStorm will let you work the other way round as well. http://www.brainstormsw.com
Jack,
Heh, I will be famous now that I was mentioned on your blog;-)
Also checked your album on flickr. I heard so much about flickr. Now that I have a digital camera, I think I may open up my own flickr account and share pictures that way.
Anyway, it's good to meet you on Monday and virtually here on your blog. I am glad to be part of your network on Ryze. Love your writing, subscribed to your blog.
Later,
