I haven’t gotten past the introduction of Getting Things Done.

That is.... perfect.

"secret alpha app" sounds like a great name for a band.

I'm waiting for "Getting Things Done for Dummies" myself.

Matt, at some point you need to insist on a new photograph.

Yes, bring out the secret alpha ape.... we will be needing him.

Yeah, they didn't say they were going to run a photo, and that one is from early 2001 I think.

I bought a book on how to stop procrastination a few years back and never even opened it. From time to time I find it when I'm cleaning, or I'm moving, and I never throw it out. But, I never read it. It's somehow empowering.

The greatness of Robin Sharma's irresistibly silken noggin transcends time!!!

I dunno where those hearts came from, I swear. But I can assure you they are hearts of greatness.

GTDFilter: The 43 folders concept is probably the thing I picked up the most from GTD. I also use the inbox, next actions, 2 minute rule, and I now have a well organized filing/reference cabinet next to my desk so I guess that makes me a disciple, even if I only read half the book and listened to only half the mp3. I do use cue cards but don't carry them around. My moleskines are also gathering dust, except the mini-address book that came with the calendar one, I still use that as an offline reference. Although I didn't love my space pen, I did miss it once the US border guards stole it. I stopped using Google Homepage in September and have been using the horribly named MemeFlow: GoTo instead. One of my future projects will be to make a better version of that, unless someone can beat me to it.

Nothing is written down and as a result, I tend to forget things like calling my parents once in a while or finishing projects on time

It's good to know I am not the only one failing to keep everything in my head like that.

a secret alpha app
MeFi Pro, maybe?

Secret Alpha App?
(kidding)
But seriously, what could it be? My curiosity is peeked.

Perhaps it is the construction of a new form of life to assist him in moderating. Could this be the birth of User #0?

Piqued? Peaked? I'm pretty sure it's not peeked.
