Fellow Library Society of the World denizens know that I spent much of last week fussing over a presentation to the Colorado Academic Library Summit.

Tue 8 May 2007, 10:34 pm

Tue 18 Oct 2005, 4:09 pm
Last week I did a Lunch & Learn session on Getting Things Done, in which I gave a quick course on David Allen’s system for, erm, getting things done. I was happy with the turnout. I think a lot of people came because no matter how successful we are, we all feel like we could [...]
