Organize IT recap for 21st March 2008
On Wednesday I asked whether personal development can (and should) be taught in schools. I’ve received some very interesting comments, so I just want to draw attention back to it and keep the discussion going. In the near future I will take a look at what elements would be [...]
yep at maczot [Creativityist]
Yep is available for $20 from MacZot today only. It’s a spiffy little program for, well, spiffing up your workspace by reducing paper clutter. It’s worth a look if you don’t have it.
Thanks to the recommendation of Unclutterer, I picked up a Fujitsu ScanSnap to use with Yep. They are pricey but worthwhile if you [...]

Your Possessions Own You [The 4-Hour Workweek Journal]
Last week I was watching Fight Club (very cool movie!). I was struck by one line in particular. At one point in the movie, the character Tyler Durden (played by Brad Pitt) says:
