Had a couple of meetings today, external meetings - not like the internal meetings I’ve complained about before on this blog. I love external meetings, and it’s been a while since I’ve had two on the same day. Why I love external meetings…
Always with a different person. No meeting is ever the same. I […]
I’ve posted about GTD before, and this is an update. I’ve been using the GTD system for a while now. If you are not familiar with Getting Things Done, the main resource for GTD is the book by David Allen: Getting Things Done: The Art of Stress-free Productivity
The biggest problem with Getting Things Done (GTD) […]

“With universal search, we’ve begun blending results from more

useful results possible, In addition to web pages,

I have been using the GTD methodology for over six months now, and the initial joy of clearing my inbox, getting on top of my todo lists, and setting up my “trusted system” has worn off. While I still think that David Allen’s Getting Things Done is the best time management system available, I am […]
The other day I read an interesting eBook about writing. It proposed a system of “speed writing” that guaranteed to get you to write any book in 28 days or less. The system revolved around creating an “outline” for the book, and then writing the book through a process of iterative refinement.
I’ll outline the process […]
So this is my first real post on the UnofficialMBA blog. What should I post about for my first entry? I didn’t think too long and hard about this, as I quickly realised I wanted to write a post about getting started with blogging. This is something I have actually found quite difficult in the […]
