David Allen - Getting Things Done
I decided to watch this video while procrastinating my cs229 homework. Basic idea is a system to hide tasks until the time needed to do them.

- Your ability to generate power is directly proportional to your ability to concentrate.
- Your mind is limited in its ability to remember and remind.
- Perspective is the most valuable commodity.
Some useful tidbits, though perhaps a bit overblown. (Or should I say “successfully marketed”?)
Of all the ideas, the means of pushing tasks and commitents out to a defined future date or disposing of them seems the most useful. I’ve had a lot of trouble managing contacts and calendars this year and it would be nice to get that problem solved.
