Sunday is Video Day at GTD Times

video.jpgAs you know, GTD Times is very new. As the Editor I’m still in the early stages of tuning the content mix to determine what people enjoy most, find most useful, most entertaining, most thought provoking, most inspirational, most fun - and most importantly, what keeps you coming back every day to see what’s new here on the site.

Personally, I’m a huge fan of video - since the advent of YouTube and Google Video I’ve discovered content that I would never have seen otherwise - content that has had a profound impact upon me and my life and upon the way I see the world. I’m sure that many of you have also discovered videos that have had a similar impact upon yourselves.

I’d love to know what videos you’ve come across that fit this criteria and I’d love to be able to share them with the GTD community. These do not have to be specific to mastering your workflow and in fact, the more thought provoking, challenging, eye opening or inspirational the better.

Send the links my way and every Sunday I’ll post at least a few of these videos to the site so that the community can benefit from our individual discoveries.

I figure that Sunday would be the best day for this since it is the day of the week when we’re least likely to be at the office where watching a video may be frowned upon, not allowed or inappropriate. After all, Sunday is supposed to be a day or rest, isn’t it? So kick back, put those feet up on top of your tidy desk, and chill out for a few minutes with some video courtesy of GTD Times and the GTD Community…

I think it would be easier just to “Get it done…”

Microsoft Gives the World a Telescope

In all of our efforts to be more productive and accomplish more each day, it is sometimes easy to completely forget about why we want to do more or do the same but more efficiently - sometimes it seems, it is all to easy to walk outside on a beautiful, starlit night, and be so lost in thought that we fail to look up at the sky.

This is a shame. After all, if we are so transfixed on doing more that we lose sight of what’s important - including the beauty and majesty of nature, then we’re really missing the whole point of why one would use a system like Getting Things Done in the first place. With this thought in mind, as well as the realization that the night sky may not be all that clear where you happen to live and/or that you may not happen to be all that familiar with the constellations, I wanted to share this amazing new technology that Microsoft is giving to the world. This is the technology that according to one geek source “made Robert Scoble cry”.
