However I have had that nagging feeling that discussing brands and makes of pens are slightly, well, over the top. But it can't be denied that David is right, it makes all the difference taking notes in a Moleskine than in a no-name notebook for instance.<br/><br/><a href='http://www.flickr.com/photos/88264355@N00/3359390562'><img height='382' width='382' src='http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3643/3359390562_b3da72ef07.jpg'/></a><br/><br/><div class='zemanta-pixie'><img src='http://img.zemanta.com/pixy.gif?x-id=84398ad6-0f74-4fa6-873d-b283ef2a2252' class='zemanta-pixie-img'/></div></div>Mekkaniakhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15689960720021558045noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10297128.post-6108263590078114882009-03-17T13:42:00.001+01:002009-03-17T13:42:20.407+01:00There's always time to launch your dream<div xmlns='http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml'>David Heinemeier of 37signals has written <a href='http://www.37signals.com/svn/posts/1619-theres-always-time-to-launch-your-dream'>a short and to point article</a>:<br/><br/><i>...I’m sick and tired of hearing “no time” as an excuse for why you can’t be great.

I realized this a couple of years ago, and since then I have never used the "I don't have the time" argument. It's just a matter of priorities.<br/><br/>And also, don't let the task ahead daunt you. Every long journey starts with one step, followed by another. Focus on the single most important task that needs to be done now and do it.

It is a very, very good starting point for setting up your own personal productivity system. All of the suggestions in the book is solid, <span style="font-weight: bold;">but to make it work for you, you'll need to write the final chapter yourself.</span><br />We have to realize that the book originally wasn't intended for, well, everyday people. It was written for the busy, high performance, CEO in the business world. Someone with many contacts, reports and travelling time.<br /><br />Thats why we see so many different successful implementations of GTD. Lifehackers tweak the system so it fits them and the tools they have at hand. For instance using <a href="http://saw.themurdaughs.com/gtd-with-gmail-whitepaper/">GMail</a> or <a href="http://www.punkey.com/pivot/entry.php?id=7002&w=whats_the_next_action#body">Backpack</a> instead of <a href="http://www.rousette.org.uk/projects/">Tracks</a> or <a href="http://shared.snapgrid.com/gtd_tiddlywiki.html">GTD TiddlyWiki</a>. Writing in <a href="http://www.43folders.com/2005/09/05/pigpog-pda-a-simplified-moleskine-gtd-system/">Moleskine's</a> instead of using <a href="http://www.diyplanner.com/">DIY Planner</a> cards.<br /><br />So, when you decide that GTD just might be the hack your life needs, don't start by searching for the perfect GTD tool. Build it yourself. Start with what you have in front of you and work from there. Try to fit GTD into your life, not the other way around. The chance for success is much greater, and it is much more fun.Mekkaniakhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15689960720021558045noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10297128.post-1153304613098390012006-07-19T12:11:00.000+02:002006-07-23T03:14:56.396+02:00My wallet, Jimi style<a href="http://mekkaniak.blogspot.com/2005/07/smartcaze-review.html">Almost a year ago</a> I got myself a smaller, sleeker wallet. It was a Smartcaze Urban FX Flipover Gold which I was (and still are) very pleased with. However, a couple of months ago I was drawn to the <a href="http://www.thejimi.com/">Jimi walle</a><a href="http://www.thejimi.com/">t</a>, "The wallet for people who hates wallets". Since then I have been carrying the Jimi and yes, it is even better then my old Smartcaze. The Jimi is thinner but can still carry slightly more, even bills, something the Smartcaze can't. So I give the Jimi two thumbs up for design, but only one thumb for price...<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.plasticashop.com/mm5/graphics/00000001/Jimmi_wallets.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 320px;" src="http://www.plasticashop.com/mm5/graphics/00000001/Jimmi_wallets.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a>Mekkaniakhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15689960720021558045noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10297128.post-1153081198945109142006-07-16T22:16:00.000+02:002006-07-16T22:23:53.286+02:00The hypnotic power of the progress barWhy is it that whenever the progress bar show up on the computer screen, I just shut down and sit and stare at it?

Here seen with a BIC Velocity Gel.<br />The basic idea for this pen holder is not mine, I know that I have read it somewhere in the blogosphere a long while back. My "improvements" are a transparent sheet of thin, hard plastic and a thin elastic cord. It is actually a lamination sheet that I run through the lamination machine without anything in it, it makes a perfect thin, cuttable, and sturdy sheet of plastic.<br />The cord is run in spiral through three small holes in the sheet. Together they make a holder that is almost invisible. By adjusting the cord this holder can accomodate two pens one on each side of the sheet. <a href="http://picasa.google.com/blogger/" target="ext"><img src="http://photos1.blogger.com/pbp.gif" alt="Posted by Picasa" style="border: 0px none ; padding: 0px; background: transparent none repeat scroll 0% 50%; -moz-background-clip: -moz-initial; -moz-background-origin: -moz-initial; -moz-background-inline-policy: -moz-initial;" align="middle" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/mekkaniak/190642136/" title="photo sharing"><img src="http://static.flickr.com/52/190642136_ecc3f62483_m.jpg" /></a>Mekkaniakhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15689960720021558045noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10297128.post-1150583249985956592006-06-18T00:27:00.000+02:002006-06-18T00:27:30.000+02:00All your GTD Next Actions belong to WordFlexiblefine has posted his dead simple method to organise his Next Actions lists:<br /><br /><span style="font-style: italic;">I don't recreate my list every day, I just update it.

A PPT shows the slides and the work that can be done on the presentation. By saving as a PPS (PowerPoint Show), when you double-click it, it will auto launch into the show mode.</span><br /><br />However, you don't need to save your presentation as a PowerPoint Show (thus creating another file), just rename the file from ".ppt" to ".pps" and presto! it is a Show. The only difference between a Presentation and a Show is the different filename suffixes. Also, if someone hands you a .pps file, just rename it to .ppt and you can open and edit it normally.<br /><br /><a href="http://lifehacker.com/software/powerpoint/save-your-powerpoint-presentation-as-a-show-180057.php">Save your PowerPoint presentation as a show - Lifehacker</a>Mekkaniakhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15689960720021558045noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10297128.post-1149873784731226882006-06-09T19:23:00.000+02:002006-06-09T19:23:05.036+02:00Google Browser SyncThere have been many times when I wish I could take my open webpages with me to work or home to continue reading. The best solution would be something that sychronizies my open tabs between home and work PC. Well, today Google Labs came to the rescue with Google Browser Sync. It not only sychronizes open tabs (thus making SessionSaver obsolete) but also bookmarks, history, persistent cookies, and saved passwords.<br /><br />I tried it and it works fine. For those of you who are paranoid of having your encoded passwords floating around on the internet, you can turn that feature off.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.google.com/tools/firefox/browsersync/index.html">Google Browser Sync</a>Mekkaniakhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15689960720021558045noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10297128.post-1148759739311734852006-05-27T21:55:00.000+02:002006-05-27T21:56:41.833+02:00How many is really mastering GTD?There is a thread at <a href="http://groups.google.com/group/43Folders/browse_frm/thread/b48d2a9997697d98/747f42efdf42cfe1#747f42efdf42cfe1">Google Groups : 43 Folders</a> regarding "How many is really mastering GTD?". No one can be a master of GTD IMHO. Maybe with the exception of Rev. Allen. Being a GTD follower since 18 months, I have found that those that are successful with their GTD implementations are those that have stopped trying to fit their life into GTD, and instead tried to make GTD fit their life. I belive this is one of the reasons why many struggle with GTD; they try to implement it "by the book" which is in most cases impossible.<br /><br />Getting Things Done, GTD, is not a goal in itself.

This person has scheduled his GTD @contexts; Errands, Friends, Phone, and also 3 hours for the weekly review, <span style="font-style: italic;">Prep for Week</span>.<br /><br />For me it makes sense to schedule some of my contexts, at least those that tend to pile up.<br /><br /></span><a href="http://juliemorgenstern.com/newsletter/2006/ezine0506.htm#may">Julie Morgenstern: Taking Control of Your Days with a Time Map</a>Mekkaniakhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15689960720021558045noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10297128.post-1145276067954455862006-04-17T14:14:00.000+02:002006-04-17T14:14:27.993+02:00I Love My MX-5My pal has started a blog about his favourite subject, his beloved Mazda MX-5:<br /><br /><a href="http://ilovemymx5.blogspot.com/">I Love My MX-5</a>Mekkaniakhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15689960720021558045noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10297128.post-1144103311388309122006-04-04T00:28:00.000+02:002006-04-04T00:28:31.436+02:00GTD LoFi HiFi Whitepaper<a href="http://kvet.ch/pages/gtd-whitepaper-emory">GTD LoFi HiFi Whitepaper</a>: <span style="font-style: italic;">"I have come to the conclusion that anyone that can use a PDA for GTD isn’t busy enough. What I’ve found is that in spite of these devices being digital and therefore super extensible, they are completely limited in the freedom of motion that they give the user. You are at the mercy of software updates, developers in the marketplace, and hamstrung by limitations in the devices themselves that make it very difficult to manage multiple projects concurrently."</span><br /><br />Oh, that explains why I didn't get my GTD/PDA combo working and instead rely on my tweaked Filofax.
