This is the first post in a series of what could be many on things I have learned during my short time on Earth. These are presented in no particular order of important, chronology, or relevance and I make no pretensions to their profundity. Dogs love to sleep and many are photogenic. Montreal Style bacon from Pete's Frootique is the best form of meat ever. Energy drinks really do work but there's no substitute for a good night's sleep. Sometimes people really don't "see the humour". GTD is really effective only when you actually do things (DT). Index cards are the perfect size for grocery lists, todo items, and general notes. You can fit many of them in a small "snack-size" ziploc along with a Uni-Ball Vision pen. This is better than a PDA for me as long as I process these notes into electronic form (calendar entries, TODO items, emails sent off, reference material filed, etc) on a regular basis.
