Pitching In and Catching On

I have been off-line for a while and as you can see I have also taken down the previous content on the site.  To be honest writing about politics and the economy was just to depressing and I think there are others who do it a whole lot better with a voice that reaches far more people.  Do not misunderstand me, I will continue my punditry, however with the sea of like themed blogs on the political and economic front I do not think another website about those subjects are the best format for my message.  A few weeks back I saw the following from a favorite website despair.com :

I have no desire to be one of those people.  If I am going to contribute to an online community of bloggers I want it to be meaningful and reaching.  With that in mind I am going to venture into something that I share an equal enthusiasm for but that I do not see enough good content online of: personal productivity.  From Stephen Covey to most recently David Allen I have always had an intense interest in not only how to get more out of my time but how to actually get things done.  Going forward this website will be dedicated to the pursuit of all the “life-hacks” I have learned in the pursuit of getting things done.  I hope you will send feedback and share ideas - Lord knows no one has the corner on all the good ideas and secrets out there.  My initial project will be to talk about the Getting Things Done (GTD) methodology as taught by David Allen.  There has been a growing online community out there that has really embraced the practice and theory behind this method and yet no one I know personally has ever heard of David Allen or GTD.

Other areas of getting things done and life-hacks that I want to explore include:

Tips and tricks to becoming a better consumer

How to process email and get your inbox to zero

How to plan

How to set and reach goals

How to get the most out of your money

The best tech devices and software to help you get things done (especially how it relates to my latest addiction: the iPhone)

So, if you have kept me on your blogroll or RSS Feed in this past month, thank you.  I am back.  You may need to recatagorize me but I hope in the end you will like what you see.
