I started reading Getting Things Done today. Granted, I didn’t get very far, because it’s been a busy day. For instance, there were football games to watch, bird feeders to hang, and most importantly of all … there was poker to play with my wife’s family.

I suck at poker. Good thing I enjoy it.

Heck, tonight I ended up with a full house … three nines and two jacks … and lost to my uncle-in-law. How unlucky is that?

Anyway … I got all the way through the "Welcome to" chapter of the book today. So far, I’m relatively impressed, because Allen doesn’t pretend that he has a method, and outside of that method, nothing will get done.

I like that.
