Quadrant IV

Just yesterday I completed a rather large powerpoint presentation.  It turned out to be quite a team effort and while I am pleased it is over, I will admit to not being that thrilled with the results.

If only we’d read Merlin’s post today about creating excellent presentations.  Solid advice there that I’ll definitely be using next time.

Lifehacker has an amazing tip today; accessing Google’s Calendar via an Outlook Calendar page. 

I’ve just tried this and found that not only can I display my gcal in a new calendar in Outlook, I can use the same trick to enable my gmail in a similar way.  This is going to save screen real-estate and also a fair bit of time waiting for windows to open so I can check if an appointment in my Outlook is also in my gcal page.  Happy happy.

A little while ago, I read a post on Jason DeFillippo’s blog detailing an ambitious lifechange he was undergoing. 

Around the time of his last post on his 90 day life change, I was also attempting to make some changes in my own life; get my GTD back into shape, start running and generally try and stay on top of the things that matter most without drowning in the things that matter least.

I enjoyed reading Jason’s post on his 90-day project, and am somewhat sad to see that he is nearing the end of his transformation.  For me, after a work-induced hiatus in the progress of my GTD, running and drowning, things are getting back on track for me and I’m ready to take up the reins of my life change again and give it a shot. 

I cleared off my desk at work yesterday (it is white – how about that?) and have a huge list of next actions to get stuck into.  Next up will be the exercise.  Considering how I feel about it, this could take a while.
