My latest favorite podcast is Navel Gazing by John Dickerson. I would recommend listening from the beginning, but I found this episode about todo lists like I was connecting with a long lost twin. I never thought I would hear a reference to the AlphaSmart word processor in a podcast, let alone 43 folders and David Allen’s Getting Things Done. That episode was a tour through my own journey in time management and productivity.
The ending where John pulls the threads together under the theme that all of this time management nonsense is about being able to spend time making the things we want to make, the things that we value regardless if others value them (that last part might be my own interpretation).
I think about that a lot.
