Episode Three - Projects

  • Posted by fisher
  • February 25, 2007

The big picture connects with your daily tasks through projects. I think of a project as a series of tasks with a clear, attainable goal; you should know when a project is done. Typically, I think of a project as spanning some amount of time between a few days and a few months. Last week, we talked about buckets, which empty into projects and the weekly review, during which time you take a look at all your projects and see how they are doing. Your projects feed your to do list, next week’s topic.
This week’s MindFeed: the humming of the Earth, dissing the Linear Collider, fusing bubbles and crop strain storage.
Music: “We gotta go” by David Henderson, “Zombie” by Devin Anderson, “I ain’t sorry” by Circle in a Square. All music may be downloaded free from PodSafe Audio.

Episode Two - Buckets and the Weekly Review

  • Posted by fisher
  • February 19, 2007

This week, we talk about places to dump things out of your head (”buckets”) and how to make sure you get back to them (the weekly review). Buckets and the weekly review are the first steps to emptying you mind to make room for the more important, creative thoughts.

Program notes:
David Allen’s Website - many of my ideas start here. Oriented to the wealthy business person, but lots of free and less expensive stuff.
Getting Things Done - David Allen’s book
43folders - excellent techy organization site. Has lots of mind hacks, tech solutions and its own podcast.
MindFeed - last weeks Nature. If you are from MIT, you can access the articles using your kerberos id.

Episode One - Introduction

  • Posted by fisher
  • February 12, 2007

This is the first of a ten episode PodCast about connecting your small tasks to your larger aims. I don’t have many answers, but I do have plenty of questions. On the practical side, we’ll talk about things like time management, work flows, handling e-mail, but always with an eye to the large-small connection. Listener comment is more than welcome.

MindFeed (12:57) - This week’s segment - the ILC releases its design report. Learn more at www.linearcollider.org
