            <title>Overcoming The Resistance</title>
            <link>http://www.medworm.com/index.php?rid=4945301&amp;cid=t_104213_180_f&amp;fid=38607&amp;url=http%3A%2F%2Ffeedproxy.google.com%2F%7Er%2Fsuccessbeginstoday%2FBHWQ%2F%7E3%2FWTwueQ8-gX0%2F</link>
            <description>You sit down to work on your next project. It&amp;#8217;s rather simple. All you need to do is open your word processor on your laptop and start writing. Yet something keeps you from proceeding. Something stops you from opening the lid. You look at the laptop. Nothing seems wrong. You reach out your hand, put your thumb in position to open the lid, and make a forward gesture. Yet something stops you cold. Something freezes the muscle impulses in your hand. You can&amp;#8217;t go through with it. You turn away, defeated.
You have just encountered the resistance.

The resistance lives in our mind somewhere between the right side creative hemisphere and the left side logical hemisphere. It lives in a hidden crevice, out of sight from our conscious mind. Yet this little blob of grey matter can stop us...</description>

            <title>How To Sleep Better At Night</title>
            <link>http://www.medworm.com/index.php?rid=4490006&amp;cid=t_104213_180_f&amp;fid=38607&amp;url=http%3A%2F%2Ffeedproxy.google.com%2F%7Er%2Fsuccessbeginstoday%2FBHWQ%2F%7E3%2FBgkWuZwcteo%2F</link>
            <description>When we go to bed at night we usually have a day full of activities, e-mail, phone calls and appointments rattling around in our heads. If we don’t write them down or commit them to a trusted storage place, they will continue to rattle around and may cause us a restless night.
In David Allen’s powerful book, Getting Things Done, he talks about committing our ideas and thoughts to paper. He suggests writing down our pending tasks and at least one action step to accomplish each one. This is especially useful before bed. If we write them down, our minds quiet down and sleep comes easier.
But where do we write them down… a scrap of paper, a notecard or possibly an old napkin? While those may work, they don’t offer the comfort of a trusted system. A place our mind knows that our ideas a...</description>

            <description>The key to completing any project or reaching any goal is to work on it in a focused and organized manner. The better the planning, the better the completed project. With that in mind, I would like to introduce the first draft of our Focused Project Planner using our F.A.S.T. system to help you reach your goals quickly.
The planner is a free download and comes in two formats. One is completely customizable in Microsoft publisher and the other is a print only PDF version that you can print on any machine that has Adobe acrobat reader on it.
Here are the major components…

The planner is based around a twelve week time frame, but can easily be expanded with multiple sheets. There is a place for project title, work location and timeframe along with our focused work time, accountability part...</description>

            <title>Note Taking System</title>

            <description>I am a kinesthetic learner by nature and I find that if I take notes during a meeting, the hands-on activity of note taking helps me retain more of what I have learned. To make note taking even more effective, I’ve done some research into note taking systems and developed a template that helps me organize my resulting chicken scratches into something useful.

Here is how it works…
On the right side of the document there is a generous white space for taking free-form notes. As I follow along in the meeting or lecture, I make notes about major points as they are presented. I usually start at the top and work my way down the document. The white space gives me room to add diagrams, simple pictures, and even flowcharts.
Once the meeting is over, I now have a collection of notes, pictures, a...</description>

            <title>How To Track Delegated Items</title>
            <link>http://www.medworm.com/index.php?rid=3733332&amp;cid=t_104213_180_f&amp;fid=38607&amp;url=http%3A%2F%2Ffeedproxy.google.com%2F%7Er%2Fsuccessbeginstoday%2FBHWQ%2F%7E3%2FdZtE-uW8O3I%2F</link>
            <description>As a leader or project facilitator, you probably have numerous tasks that you need to delegate to others. While most items are easy to assign, it’s often difficult to track the progress of projects with multiple due dates and project participants.
Michael Hyatt has a great post on his blog about tracking numerous delegated assignments. He lists four solutions that he has used including a Moleskine journal, e-mail folders, e-mail tasks and a dedicated task manager. While I have tried all four of these, I usually find myself resorting to a paper based solution.
Michael listed some things he looks for when delegating a task or project. They include

Assign the task to one person
Articulate a specific outcome
Include your delivery timetable
Be available for consultation
Track the delegated t...</description>

            <title>Tickler File System</title>

            <description>This is my tickler file in a box, a very efficient way to keep organized with Getting Things Done. A Tickler File consists of a series of 43 file folders: 12 monthly and 31 daily folders. Items are filed in a folder corresponding to when the item will need to be handled, thus reminding or &amp;#8220;tickling&amp;#8221; the user about it. These items might be action reminders, agendas, bills, receipts, reports, letters, or any number of other things.
31 daily files are labeled “1” through “31” and twelve monthly files are labeled with the months of the year. The daily files are in the front, beginning with the files for tomorrow’s date (if today is October 5, then the first file would be “6”). The succeeding daily files would represent the days of the rest of the month (“6” throug...</description>

            <description>A lot of what people write about being productive is centered around doing more.  GTD is based on trying to make sure you are able to do more.  Most planning systems are based on trying to do more.  While I can see the need for this, it is sometimes important to step back and think about what you are really accomplishing.

Doing more is only valuable if you are doing things that really need to be done.  A system that just enables you to always be busy isn&amp;#8217;t really valuable.  Obviously there is some value in not letting anything &amp;#8220;slip through the cracks&amp;#8221; if you are talking about things like getting your wife a birthday present or going to your son&amp;#8217;s soccer game, but letting some things slip through the cracks can be a valuable way to let go of things that just a...</description>

            <title>Blogging : where personal and professional collide (especially in Chinese medicine)</title>

            <description>Edit (8:14am) : Forgot the editorial calendar!  Sorry!
It should be no surprise to any of you that I think blogging is a valuable activity for those of us in the field of Chinese medicine.  I&amp;#8217;ve fielded a couple of questions in the last week from Chinese medicine students and practitioners interested in starting their own blogs.  They are wondering, mostly, what the benefits and drawbacks of blogging are for most people, but CM professionals in particular.  Seemed to be likely fodder for a blog post.
Personal Development
For me, blogging has been productive of a tremendous amount of personal growth.  Forcing myself to put my nascent, fragile ideas out into the universe has required some amount of courage (and, possibly hubris) and has helped me to reshape those ideas into someth...</description>

            <description>Call it writer&amp;#8217;s block. Call it burn out. Call it whatever you like. But my desire to write is overshadowed by the weight of writing something meaningful. 
Somewhere between the early success of this blog (est. July 2005) and today things changed. I had a lot of fun in the beginning. It was new. I felt more comraderie with other bloggers. And the ideas flowed. I couldn&amp;#8217;t wait to post again. Sometimes, I&amp;#8217;d write 2-3 a day. 
Lately I am lucky if I can squeeze out one per week. What changed? I ask myself that question every day. But I am still not closer to any real answers. 
I like writing. I always have. It&amp;#8217;s fun. But now it feels like a chore. I don&amp;#8217;t want it to be that way. 
Since the grand slams of my earlier posts, I wonder if the self-induced pressure of t...</description>

            <title>A Success Technique For Right Brained People</title>

            <description>There is a lot of talk today about the difference between Left Brained linear thinking and Right Brained creative thinking. I&amp;#8217;ve just finished a great book on the subject, entitled A Whole New Mind by Daniel Pink.
While the differences are great, on a practical side one of the main distinctions is that left brain thinkers are linear and sequential. They are great at making lists and getting things done.
Right brained, creative types are more big picture oriented and tend to be random and intuitive thinkers. While this trait is great for creativity, it can hamper step by step progress on a project or task.
 
As a certified right brainer, I have struggled with To-Do lists and get distracted easily on tedious tasks. I have worked through organizational programs such as GTD by David Alle...</description>

            <description>“I never teach my pupils; I only attempt to provide the conditions in which they can learn.” - Albert Einstein

Do you ever feel like you need a kick in the seat-of-the-pants?&amp;#160; A push in the right direction?&amp;#160; Perhaps you need a boost in morale or need some attitude adjustment.&amp;#160; Try giving yourself a self-development day.
Benefits of a self-development day


You almost program yourself for optimism 


You feel better, refreshed and ready to seize the rest of the week 


Side-advantage: You knock out some minor tasks you&amp;#8217;ve been procrastinating 


You&amp;#8217;ll be more organized for the days and weeks to come. 


The way I&amp;#8217;ve done this in the past is I&amp;#8217;ve picked one or two self-development/motivational audio programs that I would listen to nonstop for a wh...</description>

            <description>CIO magazine interviewed me recently about Mind Mapping and why I use it.&amp;#160; The article appeared last night:
Brad Isaac, CIO at Breslow Starling Frost Warner, an accounting firm, uses a mind mapping application from Mindjet for project management. In situations like deploying a new server, mind mapping helps him keep track of the project and ensure he&amp;#8217;s covered the necessary bases: who&amp;#8217;s managing it, who will be using it, who needs training, he says. &amp;quot;You&amp;#8217;re able to address all these layers of a complex project in a visual manner and it only takes moments.&amp;quot;&amp;#160;

You have something big you must do. And you can&amp;#8217;t seem to get it done. Maybe you&amp;#8217;re intimidated by the magnitude of the task. Maybe you&amp;#8217;re paralyzed to the point of inaction because you don&amp;#8217;t know where to start. Perhaps you are procrastinating by working on everything else besides your big to-do item. So how do you break out and get it done?
One shovelful at a time.
Easier said than done, right? Not if you can see things from the right perspective. Once you change how you think about it, then you can start your journey of a 1000 miles with that one step that will lead to the next and all the way to the finish line. Here&amp;#8217;s how:

When we think of our to-do list, what do we primarily think of? Tasks, right? Processing tasks like a robot can make us feel like uninspired drones. But don&amp;#8217;t despair, here&amp;#8217;s a small but powerful idea that can instantly transform your day from mundane to special.
The To-Do List Daily Qualifier
Here&amp;#8217;s the secret. At the top of your to-do list add one or at most two qualifiers on HOW you will go about your day. These are to-do&amp;#8217;s that are not &amp;#8220;tasks&amp;#8221; but rather positive ideas to incorporate into your day as you work your way through your list. For example, &amp;#8220;Breathe Deeply&amp;#8221; might be your qualifier for the day.They are there to serve as inspiration to be the person you want to be.
Every time you look at your list you&amp;#8217;ll be ...</description>

Even this photo is a few weeks old. I&amp;#8217;ll try and get some fresh ones onto flickr in the next day or so. It&amp;#8217;s on my (new, paper based, super-functional and actually effective) to-do list. (Source: Baggas' Blog)</description>

            <title>Instapaper: making Web work easier</title>
            <link>http://www.medworm.com/index.php?rid=1196718&amp;cid=t_104213_113_f&amp;fid=34898&amp;url=http%3A%2F%2Fbillkosloskymd.typepad.com%2Fwirelessdoc%2F2008%2F02%2Finstapaper-maki.html</link>
            <description>Instapaper is a great Web based widget for temporarily bookmarking sites you want to read later. I've found that if my Firefox bookmarks get too numerous, they're not as useful.

You drag their &amp;quot;Read Later&amp;quot; button to your toolbar so that whenever you're at a site, you just hit it and it's saved. Later, you go the very minimal Instapaper site, and see what you've accumulated.

This is great if you're following a topic such as the 700 MHz auction and you're scanning a bunch of sites, and eventually want to use material/links in a blog post.

David thinks that others should be able to see what you've collected in the spirit of the folksonomy movement typified by such sites as Del.icio.us, Digg, Tumblr, etc. I don't agree. If you can't synthesize the information you're reading, you'r...</description>

            <description>(Originally posted in April 2006. I bend my knees more now. I still have an exothermic endocrine system. Sometimes the playful creativity of the leads makes me laugh out loud&amp;#8212;it&amp;#8217;s wonderful!&amp;#8212;and, for a moment, the &amp;#8220;now&amp;#8221;-ness of the situation slips away because of my self-consciousness.
I still enjoy lindy hop immensely.)
Tonight, I finally realized that it is all in the knees.
Actually, it is all in the &amp;#8220;core&amp;#8221; (that block of mass that primarily encompasses one&amp;#8217;s abdomen), but the bending of the knees helps stabilize the core so one has more control over one&amp;#8217;s body while dancing. Previously, I just wasn&amp;#8217;t bending my knees enough. This ultimately made it more difficult for me to follow my lead.
Here is a description of the benefits ...</description>

            <title>Romantic Notions.</title>

            <description>Today, I
&gt;&gt; wrote a handwritten letter. I have (always had) romantic notions about the handwritten letter; it remains my favorite form of correspondence (despite the speed in both generating and sending e-mail). I have also entertained the idea of writing and sending more handwritten letters, though have yet to fully devote myself to this (lost?) art. A new year approaches with its requisite resolutions, though there is no good reason to defer this until January 1st. 
The post office clerk routinely asks if one wants delivery confirmation, signature confirmation, etc. for packages. Of the many things I have sent through the mail in the past six months, this letter is the smallest in physical dimensions and weight, yet is the most important item I have entrusted to the postal service.

            <title>My search for the perfect GTD tool, and its conclusion.</title>
            <link>http://www.medworm.com/index.php?rid=961729&amp;cid=t_104213_136_f&amp;fid=35302&amp;url=http%3A%2F%2Ffeeds.feedburner.com%2F%7Er%2FWhitePebble%2F%7E3%2F171630497%2F</link>
            <description>I spent a good long time yesterday, the day before, and several other days, furiously testing out several programs for the managing of tasks, specifically ones using David Allen&amp;#8217;s GTD method.
There are several things out there, some using Omni Outliner Pro, some with their own proprietary engines. Most of these &amp;#8212; okay, all of these &amp;#8212; require hours of mundane data entry before they can begin to be useful to you. Then you must cultivate the habit of going through the big list on several regular bases: every morning, a weekly sweep-through, probably monthly as well.
So here&amp;#8217;s what I concluded: I don&amp;#8217;t need a task manager! Not a one of them. Not even if they were giving the licenses away for free.
You see, in Mr. Allen&amp;#8217;s book, he describes the main motivatio...</description>

            <description>Monkey Wrench Puppet Lab. These Seattle puppeteers describe themselves as the &amp;#8220;most creative, most courageous and most disturbing puppeteers, dedicated to creating ridiculous, inappropriate and artistically excellent puppet plays and events&amp;#8221;. I recently saw their rendition of Bram Stoker&amp;#8217;s Dracula (after brushing up on the story with SparkNotes!). I found their performance &amp;#8220;creative&amp;#8221; and &amp;#8220;artistically excellent&amp;#8221;, perhaps mildly &amp;#8220;disturbing&amp;#8221; and &amp;#8220;inappropriate&amp;#8221;, though not at all &amp;#8220;ridiculous&amp;#8221;. One might not think that watching adults play with dolls is entertaining, but it absolutely is&amp;#8212;and stimulating and thoughtful entertainment at that. (Thank you to the person who introduced me to them.)

            <title>Tab Mix Plus for Firefox</title>
            <link>http://www.medworm.com/index.php?rid=888579&amp;cid=t_104213_113_f&amp;fid=34898&amp;url=http%3A%2F%2Fbillkosloskymd.typepad.com%2Fwirelessdoc%2F2007%2F09%2Ftab-mix-plus-fo.html</link>
            <description>This is an add-on that I really like. Right now I have 25 tabs open in 3 rows at the top of the browser.

If you're blogging, that means you have to refer to a number of open tabs besides the ones that you normally like to keep open. When you're furiously surfing, 25 is not a stretch.

There are other settings, such as opening the new tab next to the one where you click. This makes a big difference in jumping back and forth between the tabs you're working on.

Just download it.

NB: I'm categorizing this as &amp;quot;GTD&amp;quot; because it really streamlines the process of getting things done online. (Source: Wireless Doc)</description>

            <description>A little over a year ago I wrote a post on Getting Things Done in the Library.  One of the things I like most about this &amp;#8220;system&amp;#8221; is that it is geared towards helping you manage tasks and not time.  I believe this is a major factor in my success of using GTD as a librarian.  Even if one could manage time our jobs are full of too many interruptions.  The best we can hope for is to manage what we have to do in such a way that we can get it done between reference questions.
The tool that has worked the best for me in using GTD has been AirSet.  This Web 2.0 application offers a calendar, lists, files, contacts and links.  You can use it alone or for groups.  I use my calendar for my &amp;#8220;hard landscape&amp;#8221; tasks - meetings, appointments, etc. - that have a definite tim...</description>

            <title>The antidote to Facebook</title>

            <description>Seth has a post today about a young entrepreneur who took the initiative to bring a small group together to brainstorm ideas. Seth has said in the past that the worst thing about the social networking sites is that the bigger they get, the less you want to participate. I think this anecdote he provides is a good antidote.

From reading this, I got the impression that this was a challenge to the idea of spending too much time on Facebook, managing your social standing, rather than critically examining issues you and your friends might find important, in a productive manner.

From now on, I think I'll designate Sunday, non-orthodoxy day. A day for taking the initiative to do things differently, breaking the routines.

UPDATE: As it turns out, Chip Conley, the subject of the post has a new bo...</description>

            <description>&gt;&gt; Pile of Index Cards. It&amp;#8217;s more like How to Make a Complete Map of Every Thought You Think (which I originally linked to back in March) than GTD, but it certainly fits into the spectrum of anal-retentive data collection. (It involves large numbers of index cards. That&amp;#8217;s suggestive enough.) The Flickr photoset is amazing. Almost unbelievable. It&amp;#8217;s more office supply pornography (cf. Paper-Ya).
&gt;&gt; Fremont Outdoor Movies. A whole bunch of people pack up portable, foldable chairs, beanbags (thanks, Justin!), and blankets and crowd into a parking lot to watch a movie projected onto a whitewashed wall underneath the cloudy, nighttime sky in the quirky neighborhood of Fremont. It&amp;#8217;s kitschy fun. My friend (the beanbag provider above) and I watched The Princess Bride. As y...</description>

            <description>I like the idea of mind mapping: a graphical, non-linear representation of connected stuff appeals to me (perhaps I&amp;#8217;ve been looking at biochemical pathways for too long?). As an on-again/off-again google search, I&amp;#8217;ve stumbled across several implementations of this concept:

bubble.us
vym
kdissert
gjots2 (my favourite outliner atm)
gnome-think (outliner)
notecase (outliner)

            <description>A new bioinformatics blog, Bioinformatics Zen, has a nice post on one of our favorite topics: organizing yourself as a dry-lab scientist. Essentially the file system is your friend, use it to structure your projects appropriately. I recall Neil posting in a similar vein a while back ? 
I think it is about time to reorganize the recommended reading list in the side bar. It would be nice to have the list populated randomly from a database of links, so as new blogs can get some more exposure. The Drupal Links Package might be the way to go here.
