a glob of nerdishness

I haven’t gotten into the GTD®™*†(1) methodology yet. I’m not the Oprah, Cliff Notes for Dummies, and Fix Your Life in Five Minutes type. Yet I’ve been watching the method get good reviews among various computer communities for a while now, surrounded by tips that seem like they could help someone with a solid case of AD/HD packrat procrastomania(2).

Reading through a Mac-related e-zine article this morning, I found another GTD-connected quote that sounded like good advice: “As hard as the discipline may be, you must develop the habit of throwing away unnecessary stuff across the board.” Heh, yep!

My interest piqued, I decided to see what Google came up with for “GTD ADHD“. This brought me to the 43folders wiki, which looks like a fun hang-out. The community there is all about sharing good methods and little tricks (”life hacks”) that help them keep post-modern life from becoming one big backlogged, over-comitted, hyperlinked frustration. I think some life hacks and organization methods could help me work around some AD/HD issues—although this morning I ended up cruising the life hacker sections instead of actually getting things done…

Did you know that “with closed captions or subtitles, watching a video stream at up to 5x normal speed is easily possible with a little practice”?
