McGuiness' ebook is a good, concise summary of important material. I came across it in one of my feeds, Copyblogger, and knew you guys would like it. I am really glad to see Covey rolling out his own blog. I look forward to his writings. Well, I gotta run do some errands. Thanks my friend.

I discovered Covey's blog, only to find your comment already there, and I read McGuiness' ebook last night. Nothing new there for me, but it was a reminder of at least one thing I've let slip - that being my habit of letting myself get caught up in the "urgent" every morning and being swept away in the current of email, phone calls, useless but mandatory meetings, etc. At the end of the day I'm often frustrated by the fact that I've wasted another precious day of my life chasing my tail and not really accomplishing anything of real value. For that reminder alone, it was worth the read. Oh, and I forgot to mention that I’m apparently following just a few steps behind you around the web.

I appreciate your donation, my friend, but this is not what I was trying to accomplish. [See my comment to Pat.] Heck, if anything I should donate to you ... without all the fine comments you have made, this blog would be nothing. You have added so much value that I feel like I owe you a donation. Time for me to update the post, I can tell. But, having said that, I am grateful for your donation. I just do not want "regulars" to donate, though. And, I think it is a crying shame that you have received no donations for your music. I will remedy that. Capo —

Good point. I made a token donation as well - I haven't downloaded the ebook as such, but I do remember reading the material in website form and bookmarking it years ago when I was a PocketPC user. It's good stuff, and deserves some recognition. I wouldn't take the lack of donations personally though - I've lost track of how many times my songs have been downloaded, but I know how many donations I've received: none. I regularly have people ask about a CD and express an interest in buying it, so maybe it's a desire to have something tangible in hand before handing over cash. iTunes doesn't seem to have that problem though, so I don't know.

Heck, I don't know what I was trying to accomplish ... just cry on your shoulders a bit I guess. I really only want non-regular users to donate, and then if and only if they feel the ebook (or other material) is of value to them. I guess I have just been disappointed that so few of the non-regulars do not consider the material worthy of a donation. It's kinda like being told your baby is ugly, for example. But, thank you nonetheless, very much, and thank you for sharing how you blend different techniques. That is exactly what I like to see people do: blending systems so they work for you, rather than just parroting someone else's styles. Best wishes Pat! Hi Pat,

I started with a Jornada, then an Axim X5, X50v, and now an IPAQ 111. (My Axim X50v touchscreen stopped working). I have used your site along with Covey, GTD, zenhabits, and DIT to create a personal workflow "Lifeflow" process. I manage it all out of Mindmanager, Pocket Mindmanager, and Outlook.
