Merlin Mann is the creator of the Getting Things Done oriented web site 43folders.com and a GTD Guru in his own right.

This time Merlin is coming in to talk to us about time and attention, and how to maximize both.
If you think you don’t have time to come to this tech talk, then you are likely one of the people who needs it most!
Speaker: Merlin Mann
Creator of the 43 folders GTD focused web site and several others. Also regular on the This Week in Tech podcast and Macbreak weekly.

Holy what a huge steaming pile of horse this guy spewed for 1/2 hour. Worthless, just worthless buzzwords and utter garbage.

However, Twitter idea… not bad either, but it might not work too well, because it requires work for people to post information there.

Thanks for sharing …
Thanks for sharing this video. Merlin had much to say and many things he mentioned created new questions of how one person or team of people could create more sensible way of using the most limited resource most people have. I’m sure that while one might have just little bit of time or money, it’s not the amount of it but how we use it to make things better. By making small adjustments to way we do things, we might find ourselves closer to optimal way of getting things done (in our own way).

Why does Merlin …
Why does Merlin keep apologizing for something being Randian? If you need to keep apologizing for what you say, stop saying it. Or, if what you say is true and useful, why apologize for it? The things he said aren’t really even Randian.

Why is every google video either recorded inaudibly low, or deafeningly high?

Kind of misleading …
Kind of misleading title, it’s not so much about getting things done as it is about managing your limited time in the context of working in a team.
That might be important too, of course, but ironically enough sitting through this video might be a waste of time if that’s not what you’re after…

I recently found Gtdagenda and I think it fits perfectly with GTD. It has goals, projects and tasks, contexts, next actions, checklists, schedules and a simple calendar.

Google!! Thanks for the upload of this sweet video, but will you put up the question and answer section too? Or is it too private and google sensitive? The best thing about inbox zero was the Q&A with real people, asking questions the viewers were thinking. Please post!!
