Buddha, Finger, Moon, and Me
But isn’t 43 Folders a “site about ‘Getting Things Done’?”
No, it is not. No more than The Seventh Seal is a buddy movie about hanging out at the beach.
I’m an ardent admirer of David Allen and an occasional evangelist for his excellent work — which work has been unbelievably useful and inspiring to me. Reading the GTD book was nothing short of a revelation to me, and with all due deference and credit, the early success of 43 Folders stemmed largely from my detailed commentary and implementation tips on topics like GTD. No question, I’m grateful to the man on multiple levels.
But, to call 43 Folders, “a site about Getting Things Done” does almost as much of a disservice to my hard work as it does to David’s. And, frankly, how ever complimentary the remark is intended to be, it’s a millstone that I’d prefer not to carry any more.
Mm. There. That feels better.
