I have fewer listeners now. Where did you go?
I removed the comments section from the last couple podcasts, and going forward, will not be asking for comments/input. The intention of this podcast is to share what's been going on in my life during last week. I always look for things/tools/best practices that I think will be useful for people and mention them in my podcast.
ASW number status - still waiting. Maybe early November.
GTD Tip of the week - use a calendar (ideally one for everything -- work and life) and externalize your mind into it. Use it to capture items for a day without a time. Also, for a day with a specific time. An idea is to also include a specific time for yourself -- self-care.
Because voice to text systems are not cheap, I came up with an idea...
