How does a geek hack GTD?
Merlin Mann | Sep 15 2004
Productivity programs like Getting Things Done obviously have been developed around the needs of managers, sales people, and entrepreneurs. This makes sense given that those are largely the people who are buying the books, listening to the CDs, and attending the seminars (or certainly represent the largest market share of potential customers).
But, one of my main goals with this site was to discuss the way that productivity plans and methods designed for the business world can be reframed in a context that's useful for developers, programmers, and garden-variety geeks. This is not to say that geeks don't fill many or all of these managerial roles in their work, but they also tend to have work styles, deliverables, and skillsets that are markedly different from the average, notional GTD user.
The prime example: "@computer." Man, geeks don't just use a computer for occasional work or to "look something up on 'The Interweb.'" They live on their laptop and take it anywhere they'd bring their wallet. They eat wireless like potato chips and crank out code for a living. They have an IM window and an IRC channel running all day. They're streaming conferences in and live-blogging conferences out. In short, if they follow the stock GTD setup, they will have a very, very long "@computer" list.
So I wanted to start a conversation about how geeks handle their lists, their projects, and their agendas--not so much in terms of the tool they use to store the information, although that's fair game--as with how they segment the information and decide when to break it into pieces. I'll start by providing the setup used by a San Francisco web developer who spends a lot of time on his PowerBook: me.
(Please note: since I'd love to see a lot of discussion about this, please post your response on your own site and just send a single trackback ping to this post (hit: http://www.typepad.com/t/trackback/1128456). Comments below are ok for short responses or for posting links to your non-tracback-able site, but please try to limit yourself to a paragraph or so. Thanks.)
My basic tool setup
To get the tool part out of the way, everything I mention here is maintained in the following way (for today, anyway: ask again tomorrow)
My lists
classic GTD lists
my additional non-geek lists
my additional geek lists
I also have a bunch of other ad hoc lists that are specific to a certain context or that I only need for a short period of time. My rule of thumb--and arguably the core of my own system--is to group like items for as long as possible, but then break them into pieces as soon as they start becoming a horizontal distraction.
My approach and where I get value
I suspect that I probably have more buckets than most of you do, but that might be written off to my modest regular expression skills.
But I also believe it's vitally important to honor the sanctity of the "classic" GTD lists; if anything stays on one list that really belongs somewhere else (or in its own new area), you risk losing a lot of value and trust in your system. I'm rigid about moving "super-TODOs" from "@nextactions" to "PROJECTS"--but only if I really am committed to it as a desirable outcome. That's the critical distinction over other productivity hacks. You aren't just shuttling TODOs from list to list; you're actually negotiating a future for yourself.
This additional layer of refactoring and evaluation has been a terrific aid for me, so I've tried to set myself up in a way that makes that examination easy and desirable. I now constantly find myself asking whether I really want to commit myself to something, so my TODO list doesn't feel like a millstone around my neck anymore. It just seems like a series of simple, miniature tasks that get me incrementally closer to the goals I've set for myself. And that feels pretty good.
How about you?
So, I guess my questions to you practicing GTD geeks are these:
Important: Trackbacks preferred, please
As above if you have a site that can send a trackback to this entry please post your reply on your site and just ping this entry once. Commenting or linking to your response below is fine, of course, but keep it short, pelase.
So tell me: how are you hacking Getting Things Done?

A post that has nothing to do with Baseball
You might have noticed that I didn't post much this week. I've been busy with several things. Mostly dealing with doctors and insurance crap. It's a hassle. Plus my son only takes one nap during the day! I can't be on the computer when he is awake. He's turning into a little monster and is finally trying to walk! I also must admit that I can't be on the computer that much. I just feel weird. Must be the surgery.
I might not post anything till Monday. My wife is making a little party for my son tomorrow. He turned one last month but we didn't do anything since I was sick. Unfortunately it's not a Dodgers-theme party. It's Mickey Mouse. Maybe next year....
Thanks everyone for your messages and concern.

I wonder if Mickey Mouse is a Dodger fan? Maybe he's an Angel fan. Seems like you've come a long way since 6 weeks ago. That's great news. You and your family's health comes first. Us Dodger fans will always be here whenever things calm down for you. Congrats to your 1 year old and have a blessed one.

Bicycling Magazine names Lazer Nut'Z Children's Helmet as Best Bike Gear for kids!
Bicycling Magazine has named the Lazer Nut'Z Children's Helmet as one of their favorite items for young cyclists! You can see their post regarding the Nut'Z helmet online here. Bicycling Magazine is one of the top cycling publications in the United States with a circulation of nearly 500,000.
The Nut'Z helmet uses the innovative Lazer Autofit® retention system which eliminates the need to manually adjust the helmet retention. To put the helmet on simply pull the rear basket and the head belt away from each other, put the helmet on the head and the Autofit® system will automatically tighten itself around the head for an optimal fit each and every time!
As Bicycling Magazine writes:
"That means your days of spinning dials, sliding adjusters, and pulling hair are done."
The Nut'Z helmet is available in nine graphic combinations, uses an In-Mold construction process, has 16 vents and weighs 300 grams. it fits rider head circumferences between 50-56cm.
For riders with smaller heads (46-54cm) the Lazer P'Nut helmet offers all the same features as the Nut'Z helmet!
The Lazer Nut'Z and P'Nut helmets are in stock and available now!
Lazer Sport debuts new product at 2012 Tour de France!
Two new products were introduced by Lazer at last month's Tour de France, the Wasp aerodynamic helmet and the Smooth Aeroshell.
The Wasp helmet, shown above in use by Lotto-Belisol rider Jurgen Van Den Broeck during the Stage 9 time trial, has been in development over the past year and is the world's fastest commercially available helmet!
During the testing of the Wasp helmet the STAPS institute has concluded a performance advantage of between 2 and 4 watts at 45kph, or 12 seconds over 40 kilometers, as compared to the closest competition. When compared to a slow helmet the performance gain is as high as 12 watts! The Wasp helmet will be available in the Spring of 2013.
Lotto-Belisol sprinter Andre Greipel won three stages of the 2012 Tour using the new Smooth Aeroshell!
As opposed to the previous Aeroshell design, where the outer surface of the shell matches the contour of the helmet surface, the new Aeroshell surface is completely smooth providing an even greater aerodynamic benefit. A performance advantage of between 4 and 10 watts can be realized with the new Smooth Aeroshell! The Smooth Aeroshell will also be available in Spring 2013.
Keep your fingers crossed for Olympic Gold in London this Saturday!
On Saturday August 11 the Women's Cross Country Mountain Bike Event takes place at the London Olympics. This event marks the best opportunity for a Lazer equipped athlete to win an Olympic Gold Medal!
Three riders, all from the LUNA Professional Team and all in the Lazer Helium helmet, stand the best chance for success: Current World Champion, Canadian Catharine Pendrel. Current USA National Champion, Georgia Gould. Current Czech National Champion, Katerina Nash.
All three riders have been competing at the top level of international racing so far this season with Pendrel winning multiple World Cup MTB races as well as the overall UCI MTB World Cup, with Gould and Nash also finishing on World Cup podiums.
Watch the 1 Team, 3 Dreams Video from the LUNA Team and cheer for one of these great athletes to win Gold this Saturday in London!
Ken Hanson, Optum Professional Cycling and Lazer win the USA Criterium National Championship!
Lazer Helmet and Eyewear equipped Optum Pro Cycling Team provided Ken Hanson with the perfect leadout to win the 2012 USA Criterium National Championship on July 28!
Optum Team Director Jonas Carney tells the story:
With nine to go, our nine-man team took the front. A few riders were able to overtake our train a couple times, but never a complete team. We would just stay together and roll back over them – it was really executed perfectly by all of our guys. With three to go, we were down to five guys. With two to go, we had four riders left and Cody O'Reilly took a monster pull to get us to the bell lap. On the final lap, things were looking good – we were leading with Friedman, Cando, and Hanson, three riders who are well schooled in the art of the lead-out. A few riders were able to overtake them going into corner one, but then Cando uncorked his sprint on the backside of the course. From there it was just a drag race, and Cando devliered Hanson through the last two corners safely and dropped him off inside 300 meters. It was almost picture perfect, and Ken closed the deal, winning by a couple of bike lengths over Brad Huff (Jelly Belly) and Brad White (UnitedHealthcare).
Lazer is proud to support the Optum Professional Cycling Team and congratulations the team and Ken on the National Championship win!
Pete Jacobs Win Cobra Ironman 70.3!
Equipped with the Lazer Tardiz Aerodynamic Helmet Pete Jacobs won the Cobra Ironman 70.3 race in the Philippines for the third straight time!
Congratulations on your win Pete and good luck in the upcoming Ironman World Championships in Hawaii!

CHESTER, Pa. – In what has become a recurring theme for the Philadelphia Union, the team played well in a losing effort.
Against the Los Angeles Galaxy last Thursday, the Union fought their way to a 1-0 loss. Except this time the result wasn't as bad as it looked. A loss is a loss, true, but there was more to this one.
Think about the opposition. The Galaxy are a team in the thick of the playoff hunt and gunning for the Supporters' Shield. A team with the most goals scored in the entire league. A team that boasts the trio of Landon Donovan, Edson Buddle and David Beckham to go along with an already talented lineup.
The Union were the obvious underdog. But, to the shock of the casual observer, Peter Nowak's boys hung tough for almost the entire 90 minutes. It was Philadelphia's game to lose.
Frustrating Donovan and Beckham throughout, the superstars saw little of the ball thanks to a stingy defensive performance by the likes of Sheanon Williams, Danny Califf & Co. The only blemish came when Michael Orozco Fiscal lost Buddle on a corner kick, which the Golden Boot leader duly headed home. Were it not for that one mistake, the Union might have gotten all three points.
But it wasn't just the defense. Philadelphia pushed the Galaxy and had the possession arrow firmly slanted in their direction as the match wore on. Saving the day on two occasions for Bruce Arena's team was the other Donovan, as Donovan Ricketts' clutch stops late in the contest saved his team's blushes in a match that, on paper, shouldn't have been as close as it was.
Of all the Union's disappointing results this season where they weren't able to muster that extra bit of finishing they needed or had mistakes kill them, this match helped to ease those pains. It was a complete effort in defeat against arguably the best team in MLS, and a result that any Union fan should be proud of.
Union Player of the Week: Sheanon Williams
The young fullback was excellent against LA, blanketing last Donovan for most of the match. It's remarkable to see last year's MVP kept off the ball like he was against the Union, and even more remarkable because Williams has been in the league just about two months. The former Harrisburg City Islander has started well in MLS, and stabilizing the Union's right back position has surely taken some pressure off the rest of the back line.
Little-Noticed Observation of the Week
Whenever the circus comes to town, the people show up. Case in point: Thursday's match against the Galaxy. A record crowed was at PPL park to see the likes of Donovan and Beckham do their thing, with the latter drawing the ire and admiration of 19,000 screaming fans.
It's always interesting when an athlete as polarizing as Becks comes to the City of Brotherly Love. Philly fans are sometimes ruthless, and can boo the bejeezus out of the player, but the myriad camera flashes are a testament to the appreciation they can show as well.
Nowak-ism of the Week
The wily Polish manager again chose to thrust his core of young guys into the fire against the Galaxy, and they didn't let him down. The likes of Williams, Andrew Jacobson, Kyle Nakazawa and Danny Mwanga really caused problems for LA.
"It's awesome," first-year keeper Brad Knighton said. "Peter has brought in the right type of guys for a team he wants to build around in the future. It's our expansion year and we wanted to start it off well. That didn't happen, but we have a very good core of young guys that are going to be here for a while."
MLS would do well to look out; there might be a powerhouse in the making in Chester.

Pictures of Prince Harry Playing Polo at the Audi Polo Tournament
Handsome Prince Harry Gets Back Up on His Horse
Prince Harry took a casual lap around the polo fields in Berkshire, England, on Saturday prior to playing in the Audi Polo Tournament held at Coworth Park. The youngest prince is still in the UK since taking a break from his military duties to attend his brother William's royal wedding. Harry was spotted chatting with Charlize Theron during the outing, though he reportedly spent Kate and William's big night in the company of off-and-on girlfriend Chelsy Davy. William and the rest of his family are going back to their day-to-day activities with Kate Middleton settling into life as a duchess by taking casual trips to the grocery store and Princess Beatrice enjoying casual date nights with her boyfriend. Life as a royal has its downside, though; yesterday a serious threat was made against Harry's life. A new video released by an extremist group threatens to harm Prince Harry in retaliation for the assassination of Osama Bin Laden.

Manning, defense lead Broncos over Panthers 36-14
CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) — Moments after the Denver Broncos gave the Carolina Panthers a good old-fashioned shellacking Sunday, they gave coach John Fox a game ball.
"There were a lot of motivating factors to help us win this game, and coach Fox was the biggest one," Von Miller said.
Peyton Manning made sure Fox's return to Carolina was successful, throwing for 301 yards and a touchdown, and the defense turned in a dominating performance to lead the Broncos to a 36-14 rout.au
Manning threw his 420th touchdown pass to move into a tie for second place on the NFL's list with his childhood hero Dan Marino. He trails only Brett Favre (508).
"I have never felt comfortable kind of being mentioned with him," Manning said.
Manning had plenty of help from his teammates.
Linebacker Miller harassed Cam Newton all day and Trindon Holliday returned a punt 76 yards for a touchdown as the Broncos (6-3) won for the fifth time in six weeks. The Broncos sacked Newton seven times, including once for a safety, and Miller pressured him into an interception Tony Carter returned 40 yards for a score.
Fox spent nine seasons in Carolina before his relationship with owner Jerry Richardson dramatically deteriorated when the organization failed to offer him a contract extension.
So Sunday's win was a taste of revenge, although Fox took the high road after the game.
"You just feel good to win," Fox said. "You put a lot into these things. It is seven days of hard work and countless hours. It's all for naught if you don't win."
Miller was all over the field and finished with a sack, forced fumble and four tackles for a loss.
"We want to be feared and respected for a relentless pursuit for the ball," Miller said.
Denver's defense put on a show, pressuring Newton all day and forcing him to make quick decisions that often resulted in mistakes.
"We changed up our protections, did a couple of things differently and they were still able to break through," Panthers coach Ron Rivera said.
After a strong start, Newton finished 21 of 36 for 241 yards with two touchdown passes to tight end Greg Olsen. He threw two interceptions.
By the end of the game Newton looked tired, discouraged and a little beat up.
Despite spending most of the day on his back, Newton wouldn't pass blame on his offensive line.
"This is the same offensive line that did an excellent job a lot of times today, so I'm not thrashing them." Newton said. "… I think personally I have to do a better job of getting the football out, getting it to my outlets."
Miller, selected No. 2 in the 2011 NFL draft, one spot behind Newton, was a disruptive force right from the start. He sacked Newton on the second series and celebrated by imitating Newton's Superman routine, pretending to rip open his shirt.
The Panthers (2-7) appeared ready to give the Broncos a challenge early while playing in all-black uniforms, jumping to a 7-0 lead in the first quarter on a 4-yard pass from Newton to Olsen.
But it was all Broncos after that as they'd score 29 straight points.
After a slow start, Manning started to pick apart Carolina's defense and was 16 of 20 for 135 yards, including a 10-yard touchdown pass to Brandon Stokley. With the game tied at 7, Holliday put the Broncos ahead with a nifty punt return for a controversial touchdown.
As Holliday sprinted the final 25 yards to the end zone alone and untouched, television replays appeared to show him flip the ball out of his hand in celebration about a yard before he reached the end zone.
In a pool report, NFL referee Al Riveron said, "The entire scoring play is reviewed" and that it was confirmed it was indeed a touchdown.
Said Holliday: "We had that problem last week, but I thought I got the ball across the goal line. I'll have to go back and look."
Prater later made it 17-7 on a 53-yard field goal.
Early in the third quarter, Charles Johnson sacked Manning and forced a fumble that Greg Hardy recovered.
But on the next play Miller grabbed Newton's ankle in the backfield as he was trying to throw and Carter stepped in front of the pass near the sideline and returned it for a touchdown and a 24-7 lead. Prater added another field goal and Mike Adams sacked Newton for a safety to make it 29-7.
"I should have thrown it out of bounds," Newton said. "I have to be more mature than that. It's better to be second-and-10 than have a pick-six."
Manning said after the game he was honored to be in the same company with Marino, who was his favorite playing growing up.
"Dan Marino, after my dad retired, was my favorite quarterback growing up," Manning said, "so it is pretty much documented through the years when I have been asked about Dan Marino how I feel about him."
NOTES: Broncos DE Elvis Dumervil left the game with a shoulder injury in the second quarter and did not return. … Panthers TE Greg Olsen posted his first career 100-yard receiving game in six seasons. … The Panthers have not won back-to-back games this season under Rivera.

04 April 2013 | News | By BioSpectrum Bureau
Singapore: Alchemia's commercialization partner Dr Reddy's Laboratories has launched Alchemia's FDA approved generic anti-coagulant product fondaparinux in India. This is the first time fondaparinux has been made available outside the US since the product was launched in July, 2011.
Alchemia's injectable fondaparinux formulation is a bioequivalent generic version of GlaxoSmithKline's Arixtra product. It will be sold and marketed in India by international marketing partner Dr. Reddy's Laboratories, as a branded generic under the name Fondared to prevent and treat deep vein thrombosis (DVT). Fondared will be available in pre-filled color-coded single dose syringes (2.5mg/0.5mL).
The Arixtra brand achieved Indian sales of approximately $2.7 million for the year ended 31 December 2012. Alchemia expects to receive 25 percent of all profits from sales in India, with the same economics from sales to any further territories outside the United States.
"We are pleased to announce the launch of fondaparinux into India," said Charles Walker, CEO of Alchemia. "This launch represents the first for our fondaparinux outside of the US. We look forward to fondaparinux's expansion into additional territories."
Fondaparinux US net sales were $12.3 million in the quarter ending 30 December 2012, with Alchemia's quarterly profit share totalling $3.4 million, a 90 percent sequential increase over the previous quarter.
Dr. Reddy's filed a regulatory submission in Europe seeking marketing approval for generic fondaparinux in key European markets in April, 2012. The Company manufactures fondaparinux under license using a patented process developed by Alchemia.


text: So today I met somebody really cool who has epilepsy. She told me what her seizures felt like which involve drooling and tingling. I realized she was describing a partial seizure and she was impressed I knew what a seizure was and what type. I may end up working with her so I just wanted to know some stuff about partial seizures. What do they look like??? I witnessed someone with brain damage have a dizzy spell where the eyes rolled rapidly as part of another brain condition and if seizures look anything like that I want to prepare myself so I don't scream if she has one in front of me. Is there anything I can do to help her during a partial seizure?? I read basic stuff online already and will ask her too but I was just curious as to what your advice might be? Is there anything you wish other people would do when your not able to communicate during a seizure??? What do you do for post seizure fatigue?
