wow, and I finally got around to bittorrenting a copy of GTD just a few hours ago. seriously. of course I’m watching your show now instead of reading it. I think this is your funniest one so far. stay unproductive buddy, and keep up the great…uh, work.
2-Mar-2007 at 10:00 pm
this is perfect. you’re making the vlog that I never got around to making when I was 22.
2-Mar-2007 at 10:23 pm
This one is great.
And I am very happy to hear some familiar music, heh. My, what a wonderful collection you must have at your fingertips… ;)

This is so my life! except for the credit card thing. I am a NGTD’r.

Thanks for the tracks, Rich!

Funny show! Please think about a new streaming service—blip.tv seems to suck (ie. is too slow) … Maybe Revver?
3-Mar-2007 at 12:58 pm
None of these services are perfect, and Blip has the best options if I later add ads for my other projects.

Just fantastic Nick, haven’t laughed so much for ages. Thank you for this!

I’m taking your advice from this show and not commenting…

Yes! Another proud member of the NGTD crowd. Boy, we’ll sure sure David Allen, what with all of our theoretical nonproductiveness.

You’re amusing, Nick. My friend Seth lives in San Francisco and I think you and he would get along quite well. Though I do not know where you are in relation to Shotwell Street.
I’m not trying to set anything up, I’m just saying…Seth is great and amusing. You are amusing and seem nice…your father’d birthday show made me a little verklempt.

[…] Getting back to the point (or the thing vaguely resembling a point). Look Shiny is worth letting at least one important deadline passing you by. And it’s worth missing that life-changing deadline because of his 2007/03/02 show: Not Getting Things Done. […]

This system fits with my style of work much better than GTD (which is just so overrated). For example, whenever I don’t want to do work I just subscribe to a new RSS feed! Now I’m up to hundreds feeds and always have thousands of unread items just waiting for me to read instead of work.
Plus Battlestar… yeah!
Anyway… dude: where did you get the Steve as Che shirt? It’s pretty much drop dead awesome!

best one yet — as i have been guilty of the making plans while waiting for people in bars. although i think a lot of the tech/hipster credo is to look exactly like you’re NGTD while you actually GTD - because it’s not cool to be too productive. or is that we need to be so up-to-date on our social networks, rss feeds, must-see teevee that we have to make it look like we don’t do those things to the exclusion of being around other people in real life?
