  • New GTD Category: @Radar

    david-allen-me I am a big fan of David Allen's GTD (Getting Things Done) methodology.  Lately I have been struggling with some of the recommended categories for certain items that land in my "inbox".  Examples of context related categories are @Project, @WaitingFor, @Computer, @Agenda, @Errands, @Call, and so on.  Lately, I have wanted to keep track of certain items, without making them actionable.  This seems to contradict the point of GTD.  Yet there are times when I simply want to recall a topic or situation to mind without making it a project, something I am waiting on, or something I am required to do anything about.  I needed something that would keep a matter in front of me, but not require me to do anything about it.  Thus, I propose a new category to the GTD community: @Radar.

  • From Venice to The Venetian to Venice Beach

    When I wrote my From Venice to The Venetian blog, I thought that was an interesting coincidence.  However, when I arrived in California last night to attend a management seminar today, the story was still unfolding.  I didn't realize my hotel is located at Venice Beach!  For all of these pit-stops to have a Venetian theme (unintentionally) is a little remarkable.  ...at least I think so.
