Getting Something Done – Listmania

After years of studying and working, it is often believed that our brains are mature enough to think of itself as an organizing tool doing lots of lots of tasks in a specific pattern or order. Sequential and parallel task management is key to this GTD method widely appraised by workers worldwide as it sums up one of the most efficient ways to organize our personal and professional lives.

After some research, there are two softwares working great with this scheme: OmniFocus and OmniOutliner. In a few days users will become listmania obsessing with To-Dos, shopping lists, reading lists, must-have lists, etc. Moreover, since the launch of App Store by Apple alongside iPhone 2.0 firmware, loads of to-do-list applications (both free and commercial) are tempting us to download them onto our pwned 2G or legit 3G iPhones.

Life can never be this organized.

Capturing Thoughts

There are various ways to capture our thoughts and ideas. Sometimes it is best for someone to write out loud because he or she might be in a mood to describe the events or wonderful experiences. Sometimes a photo can portray one's memory without the need to give caption. Or sometimes a mix of both is ideal because an image itself cannot convey the true meaning of the author or photographer.

A WordPress theme "Monotone" in the form of photoblogging is on one extreme, while this Blogspot theme is on the other, just plain text. While Tumblr sits neatly in between.

P.S. WordPress blog of mine (vi.blog) has once again been updated and it is decided to be one of photoblogging. Feel free to drop by.
