Getting Things Done

GTD is an Internet phenomenon, with sites like 43 Folders, lifehack.org and Lifehacker all featuring it heavily.

I've played around with it before, but as I've never read the book it didn't work out too well. I liked what I saw though, and am going to give it a crack this year.

First off I need the book, which I'll try get in the next week. I'll then spend a month or so getting my personal GTD system ready, and then try do a 'clean install' when I start Uni on the 26th of Feb.

I'll track my progress here, and add it as a new principle on my reviews.

Google Analytics

I was reading Erik Vossman's post on Google Analytics, so I decided to sign up. Exactly what it does, I'm not sure. I'm going to use it to replace Sitemeter, which has been good so far, but I don't really enjoy it. It looks like it's a pretty powerful tool, so hopefully it'll be useful in the future.

I found that in order to install it, you have to add in a piece of HTML code onto your site. If you're using blogger like me, it's eaisest to just add it as a page element in your template, rather than trying to edit the HTML like I did!

Adampedia!

I just set up my own wiki as per this brilliant article on Lifehacker. It's only hosted on my computer at the moment, but eventually I'm going to try get it up on the web so everyone can peek into my vast collected knowledge!

I can't wait to begin transferring all my past workout journals, all my style advice, my Life List. I find this really exciting because wiki's are such an easy resource for stockpiling information, more so than word documents which are a bit cumbersome.

Sites I Use

I've started to use Google Calendar to track the progress I make. I've chooesn GC because it's integrated with Gmail, and I love using Google products.

I also use del.icio.us, which I am starting to love.

I'm starting to become all about putting as much information on the web as possible, it's pretty safe (from being lost), and so far I haven't not been able to do anything I could with a pen and paper.
