GTD
Started reading (and implementing) Mr Allen's advice, and do you know what, I'm feeling better already. I've never been that enthused by self-help books – but this one works so dandy I can't help but add my pennies worth of praise. No real interest there you might think, but to me the interesting part is that I followed my instinct and after reading several other typo+graphic+web+design/writer/editors praise online I though what the heck. Didn't see any adds in the press (not that I read a newspaper anymore) and nobody in my huge circle of friends (ha) recommended it. Just the feedback from people with similar aims and aspirations workwise (and much more skill), such as Evangalist #43. Also using BurntOut and think it's just peachy.
Back to GTD. Now here's the real interest – listen to the authors interview on pod-cast here. 20+ years this guy has been refining his schtick. And he doesn't have to over-compensate with marketing eye-wash speak admitting it's mostly common sense. Trouble is as we all know, common sense get rode over roughshod when people are asked to change their habits. As one with lots of very unappealing ones I should know.
VFR RIP
The VFR is sold. Picking up cheque tomorrow. How sad am I? A bit, but as Zibbs says, you can't get too attached to things. I will of course buy another bike in the future (already thinking KTM/CCM town hooligan bike) but that's just a wee dream to keep that part of my imagination bubbling. Might post a farewell picture here at a later date or dedictate a few KB's to it on Flikr. Right, off to drown my sorrows.
