Over at the ZenHabits blog I came across a very cool post, 3 Steps to a Permanently Clear Desk, while groggily checking email in the wee hours this morning. Read it. Love it. Maybe it was the hour, maybe it was my growing realization of how hopelessly bad I am at managing my life, and time, on numerous levels, but I was inspired. So, at work today I did this. It’s an amazingly liberating feeling. Looking now across my desk I see no pending scribbles on scraps of paper. No stacks of forms already handled. Nothing but my plastic slinkies, rubber duckies, and a couple of note books turned to fresh pages full of note taking possibility. Oh, and my NaNoWriMo mug of coffee. I like it bunches.

In the midst of making neat at work I also revisited some resources I had encountered before for using the GTD system online. My favorite, and the one I have been tinkering with today, is the GTD specific wikis you can host free over at tiddlyspot.com. The layout I like best is the MonkeyGTD 2.1 alpha version. Lots of neat, simple features, and a snap to use once you get your head wrapped about it. The best bit is that it is hosted, and therefore accessible from anywhere the internet reaches. I guess I finally need to read the original GTD book.

Stumble it!
