What does everyone do for a living

troy | Jun 6 2006

What does everyone do for a living? Just curious. Want to see if I can relate to anyone and how GTD plays out in their work.

I am a manager for a restaurant.

Grad Student

Submitted by Sosaidh on June 8, 2006 - 10:40am.

I'm a grad student in biological chemistry. My work specifically involves using atomic force microscopy to look at protein-DNA interactions (I work with a really cool microscope).

GTD is a life-saver since my work is project-based and open ended in that I have loose deadlines (i.e. get Ph.D. in five years, finish projects before then). It's really helpful keeping track of where I am on my three projects.

Cranking

Merlin used to crank. He’s not cranking any more.

This is an essay about family, priorities, and Shakey’s Pizza, and it’s probably the best thing he’s written. »

Scared Shitless

Merlin’s scared. You’re scared. Everybody is scared.

This is the video of Merlin’s keynote at Webstock 2011. The one where he cried. You should watch it. »
