Fun feedback

I love pithy testimonials like this one I got this morning:

"I read the Atlantic article.  I set up the tickler file.  It's as if I have been root-bound, and am now re-potted."

Atlantic Monthly article on me

There's a 6-page article on me and GTD in the current (JUL/AUG) issue of Atlantic Monthly, in case you haven't seen it. Jim Fallows (senior writer for them, former editor of US News) has been following my stuff for a while, and I think did an admirable job of expressing some of the core stuff about GTD and me...

And, by the way, it's a great double issue - cogent stuff on Bush/Kerry as well as world events. It's still my favorite rag (not just because they published Jim's article!) - the only one I read cover to cover every month.

MindManager - very cool

I've been working with a new version of MindManager Pro for the last couple of weeks, and it's really cool. A couple of sharp consultants and resellers of MindManager were in my London seminar a few weeks ago (Nik Tipler and Nikk Duffill of gyronix), and they gave me a copy, along with showing me some interesting stuff they're doing vis-a-vis a GTD add-on to MindManager. They've got a new version of that add-on coming out shortly, too.



Stay tuned. I've tried mind-mapping software before, but things have improved a bit since I was really into it, and after a long plane ride learning some of the speed keys, I've been using it to do some really creative stuff with a bit of complex thinking...

Cool blogging content/technology from my favorite propellor-head

My technology/communication colleague and guru, Eric Mack, is experimenting with some cool blog info sharing techniques, and I'm sure he'd love anyone's feedback... (I suggest you play with Eric now, before he gets smarter and puts a meter on his info...!)
