VI
Rationalists, wearing square hats,
Think, in square rooms,
Looking at the floor,
Looking at the ceiling.
They confine themselves
To right-angled triangles.
If they tried rhomboids,
Cones, waving lines, ellipses –
As, for example, the ellipse of the half-moon –
Rationalists would wear sombreros.
Six Significant Landscapes, Wallace Stevens

Well, it’s really a “webinar” (hate that term) and it’s specifically about using MindManager within the GTD context. But it’s definitely free. Takes place on your computer on Tuesday, October 10, 2006. Details here. Cosponsored by MindJet, so they’ll be using MindManager on this presentation. Even if you don’t use MindManager, I’m guessing the concepts […]
This coming Friday (August 25, 2006) I’m going to do a little experiment with Slacker Manager. The first post of the day will include a link where you can register as an author on Slacker Manager. I’ll leave this link live all day long and allow unfettered access to publishing posts to the blog. That […]
I’ve been noodling around with the idea of a Free For All Friday on Slacker Manager, just to see what would show up. I was gonna do it tomorrow, but then I noticed that maybe it’s not such a good idea. Guess we’ll stay on lockdown around here for now. You can still comment, though. […]
TED stands for Technology Entertainment Design, and it’s an annual conference that’s held in Monterey, California each year. It’s pretty exclusive, and allows only 1,000 people to attend each year. Generally speaking, in order to attend, someone who’s already been must recommend you. I’ve always been fascinated by the lineup of speakers at the conference […]
I’m not much of a baseball fan, but this seems really weird to me. It’s an article explaining how a minor league team from the Chicago area is planning to allow fans to manage the team for the entire second half of their season. There are caveats, such as not allowing players to play positions […]
If you rock a Mac, like me, you’ll be pleased to know that there is now a version MindManager that works with OSX! I’m super-stoked about it. I’ve been using it for a couple of months now, and it’s definitely in daily rotation. It’s my standard notetaking and brainstorming application. I’ve gotten into the habit […]
I’ve recently finished reading Rushkoff’s latest book, Get Back In The Box, which talks about the fallacy of much “out of the box” thinking. This is more of a quick commentary on a section of the book (though I’ll get a formal review up later…short version: I liked it) than an actual review.
One passage in […]
Over at NoteTalkers they’re running a contest for your best MindManager mindmaps within a few categories. From their post:
Note Talkers, Mindjet, and our affiliated Sponsors value innovation. That’s why we’re looking to you, to show us your creative talents! Enter our Note Talker’s MindManager Map Contest and you could walk away with some of the […]
I know there’s never really a need to apologize for not posting, so I won’t. I will say that you shouldn’t be surprised if it continues to be slow for a while. The standard knockout punch of work, travel, and having a laptop in the shop for two weeks has brought me to my knees. […]
Roger sent me an invite today to Newsvine, which is pretty cool. It’s kind of a mashup between Rojo and Digg. I admit I haven’t played around with it a whole lot, so I may be missing the boat in that brief description.
The real reason for this post, though, was that from Newsvine’s business center, […]
Dwayne came up with this ridiculous, but funny, idea of polyphasic management: (be sure to go read the rest of his post–pretty funny)
3-4 hour blocks of micromanagement interrupted by short periods of inattention. This is in contrast to many traditional (monophasic?) management styles which utilize 3-4 hour blocks of inattention, interrupted by short periods of […]
Lisa Haneberg has announced a really interesting idea. She’s calling for ‘Best Management Ideas’ and she’s soliciting entries that:
Share a new habit you have adopted that is making your work more productive or stress free.
Share techniques you use to reduce your daily stress while at work.
Tell us about a new gadget that is making your […]
The full title of this book is Is Your Genius At Work? 4 Key Questions To Ask Before Your Next Career Move. Before I go any further with this review, let me set something straight: the value of this book is not limited to jobseekers. This is stuff that will help you reframe the way […]
For you non-Mac people out there, Entourage is Outlook for the Mac. I don’t really understand why Microsoft made the two products so different, but I’m glad they did. Entourage is better suited for a good off-the-shelf GTD implementation. The key, which I overlooked for months after getting my Powerbook, is the "Project Center." This […]
