One of the best things about procrastinating while surfing the net is that you can check out all the productivity websites that help you feel virtuous while you are wasting time on the net instead of actually being productive. Merlin Mann's 43 Folders is just one of those places where you can pick up more pavers for your own personal road to nowhere.
And then, when you've given up deluding yourself about learning how to be more productive, you can go visit other fun stuff, like Merlin Mann's 5ives. And so:
Five Good Things to Absorb While You're Still Young
1. a lot of hippies are selfish, unpleasant, and not particularly funny
2. people who argue well aren’t necessarily right
3. cars are kind of a weird thing to spend a lot of money on
4. people will do things for you if you ask them as a favor
5. angry waiters totally do things to your food

The GTD Prayer
Our lifehacks, which art in contexts,
Inbox zero be thy aim.
Thy Kinkless done.
Thy Mind Sweep fun, in @work as it is in @honeydo.
Give us this day our next action.
And forgive us our open loops, as we forgive those who delete our email.
And lead us not into web surfing.
Deliver us from IM.
For thine is the Moleskine, the Project and the Due Date
For someday/maybe,
Allen.

Dear God, we need some sun
After the rainiest March on record, we are now heading into the rainiest April on record. Shortly we will all float away. To keep my spirits up, here's a glimpse of what awaits us when the rain ends...
