Getting Things Done (Kindle Link) Method:

• Capture: Note stuff down, always
• Clarify: Refine useful stuff you captured, is it a task? break down + make it actionable
• Organise: Put it in the right place, schedule time, add dates/deadlines if actionable
• Reflect: Dispose of any crap, make sure things are up to date, further refine your notes
• Engage: Do the actual stuff, don't get caught in convoluting your workflow

• Blocking out a dedicated time to work on a specific task

• Often coined as a "human operating system"
• We often hold too much information at one time, training to capture more often
• Hierarchy structure through pages
• Key features: Databases, embeds, publish to web, todo lists, calendars
• My personal homepage:

My Key Use-cases

• Directory - "little black book" equivilant. Freelancers, agencies, good industry contacts, etc
• Digital Archiving - Sets of basic databases with tagged entries that link to digital scans of paperwork.
• Finances - Embed of a google spreadsheet that details regular cashflow
• Travel - Itineraties, flight/hotel booking refs, guides, recommendations from friends
• Health - Notes from every consultation, trackers on any "active" investigations, etc
• Book Notes - Lots of good frameworks for book notes, main focus is on chapter breakdowns, with higher-level analysis after finishing
