Getting things done

No, not David Allen’s stuff...

Great interview (audio) + fantastic presentation (video) about why finishing is so hard.

I don't tweet

Captain Picard, eh... I mean Sir Patrick Stewart.

Not doing what everyone else does matters. In times of war, and in times of luxury.

Debilitating complexity

At last, someone who points out that computers are far too complex still (and how the iPad might change that). I’ve been waiting for decades for someone to spell it out. Non-nerds have suffered nerd lock-in way too long. Not a day goes by without someone asking me something about computers, because they can’t solve it or fix it, or understand it.

Goodbye Google

Ok, cancelled my account. I’m Google-mail/-groups/-docs less again!

Is that a new whiff of fresh air I sense? Oh, no, wait... it started snowing here :)

Attention

It’s just crazy how often I catch myself trying to draw attention. My blogs, my achievements, my ideas, my ego.

But things seem to have changed this year. I’m starting to get better at giving attention. To people (mostly face to face), but also to my work (by making choices).

Attention, competence, respect - my keywords for 2010.
