Inbox Zero

[BattlegroundVictory]

Merlin Mann is entirely over-rated and quite derivative of other so-called "productivity experts". Interesting that when it came to completing a book INBOX ZERO, for which he was contracted to write by a publisher, he dropped the ball and quit after 2 years. His usual "motivational talks" he is hired to perform at various companies are clearly easier than writing a book and appease his giant ego much better I think, but I doubt they inform his audience much at all.

@BattlegroundVictory Made a difference to me and many of my peers.

This is so, so, out of sync.

Great video. I don't have enough time to watch this whole video (which is about 'saving time) and I was worried about this video being too long. Note that the actual lecture is only about 30 minutes, with the last 30 minutes being dedicated to a Q&A session (where geeks talk about their getting-things-done strategies).

SOOO many people in our university nee to see this, and it's 4 years old.

[RailsTube]

You can tell this is an old talk because he says "checking your Blackberry" LOL

[hisveggieness]

Why end every sentence in a question inflection?

[tomgavin]

10 people disliked this because watching this video has taken away an hour that they could have used to check their emails.

[fredericvachon]

why is this video restricted by the video content owner and is not available on TV connected device?

please it's 58 minute long!

[protofighter]

still very valueable

[AnnaKBrisvegas]

Ha. 6:45... "multiasking in my experience tends to be something of a myth"...

Haha! Such a man... ;)

this video was the worst fucking video ever

[Drewmatiq]

How do they manage to put a one hour video here on Youtube when only 10 minutes is possible?!

[Miamisauce305]

It's google, they can do what they want.

[Drewmatiq]

That seriously makes me angry. You can't even upload sth. on Google anymore, here it's reduced on a "Ok, say hello & than Shut Up"....hm... M.F... >:-( !

[aReasonableMan12]

You used "than" where you should have used "then."

[6minus3minus2]

They kind of own Youtube. Sorry, not kind of, they do.

[aReasonableMan12]

It's probably because you're wrong about what's possible on youtube. Maybe you should poke around and find out what the limitations really are. Good luck. I really do hope you find out the truth about these limitations and don't turn this thing into a conspiracy against you.

[TheKorken]

I saw this a couple of days ago and it has already help me. Mostly with not cheating myself ("ah, I'll respond later, when I have time...")

I want those delete, respond, delegate, defer, do-buttons to hang them beside my monitor^^ I guess I have to make my own.

[TheKorken]

I mean "helped" and "icons" instead of "buttons"..

Dammit, next time I'll check before posting. Promise.

[maadarchot]

This is a great video. Wondering why there's no synch between lip movement and voice ..

[sevenstars707]

You can watch/download the original movie on "Google Video", without synching problems.

[papercutpete]

Love this ,I'm gonna use this for my users, well presented and easy for the layman to understand.

Saves on my backup space (small company)

many thanks

Merlin is the Truth Man!

[happybois]

what a cool ass name. it made me say cool ass. im sure he just walks into interviews and says im merlin mann, and they say, wow merlin mmmmm ur hired

[idlewild]

@happybois You think his wife knows he's gay?

[maracuder]

Man... that GTD workshop announcement was annoying...

[damianpodcast]

The challenge with GTD (getting things done) and time management is that it is a process. This is a nice video to remind you of how to manage the process for email. A useful reminder of the obvious with a very healthy dose of ninja focus and getting clear with some simple approaches I am willing to try.

[aaronaverill]

@damianpodcast And staying well fed. Even Ninjas need a taco once and awhile.

[discontents]

This video inspired me to make rules in my Outlook inbox. Whew, it feels better. Not sure if I'm more productive, though.

Why is this vid so fucking long?

[santiagocross]

buen video pibe

[trentc10]

I love this video, but it the audio gets out of sync around 22:30 (it seems to happen earlier, but that's when it gets really noticeable)

[kockgunner]

is that why youtube vids have a time limit? To hide the fact that their video and audio sync system is screwed up?

[trentc10]

If you go look at the original Google Video, the sync problems are the same. It's not caused by YouTube.
