Beyond the basic principles, GTD can be administered to the chronically overwhelmed in a whole [...]

In typically ADD-brain type activity, I have once again taken on too much in too short a time. It’s a viscious circle to which, I suspect, many readers of this blog can relate.

I am delighted to announce that Chapter 1 of Persistent Spirit is in the bag and all ready for release on Sunday January 6.
The ongoing schedule is to release a new chapter early each Sunday evening (UK time) so that you can partly fill that pre-Monday morning few hours at the end of the weekend.
Chapter 1 brings the story several years after the Prelude, and you get to meet a few of the more important characters you will be accompanying on their adventures. I want to tell you more about the episode, but that would spoil everything!

I have just set up my del.icio.us library account to automatically post my latest del.icio.us links to this blog. This gives me a place to find the most recent additions, and place for you to be nosey about what [...]

So, the latest news in is that I deliberately created Britcaster.com and helped organise PodcastconUK last year so that they would swell my CV* and land me a nice, sweet, swanky job with Podshow. Thank you to the person who pointed that out, because in a year and a half since Britcaster.com was created, I [...]

If there’s one clear message from the rise of this thing we currently call podcasting (both audio and video) the traditional media industry needs to pay attention to, it’s that the secret is out: creating content people want to watch or listen to is not as hard or expensive to produce as they’ve led us [...]
