If you think you don't have time to come to this tech talk, then you are likely one of the people who needs it most! Speaker: Merlin Mann Creator of the 43 folders GTD focused web site and several others. Also regular on the This Week in Tech podcast and Macbreak weekly.

Why does Merlin keep apologizing for something being Randian? If you need to keep apologizing for what you say, stop saying it. Or, if what you say is true and useful, why apologize for it? The things he said aren't really even Randian.

Why is every google video either recorded inaudibly low, or deafeningly high?

Kind of misleading title, it's not so much about getting things done as it is about managing your limited time in the context of working in a team. That might be important too, of course, but ironically enough sitting through this video might be a waste of time if that's not what you're after...

I too was missing the Q&A, I really enjoyed the one from Inbox Zero.

I recently found Gtdagenda and I think it fits perfectly with GTD. It has goals, projects and tasks, contexts, next actions, checklists, schedules and a simple calendar.

Google!! Thanks for the upload of this sweet video, but will you put up the question and answer section too? Or is it too private and google sensitive? The best thing about inbox zero was the Q&A with real people, asking questions the viewers were thinking. Please post!!
