ABSTRACT
Merlin Mann is the creator of the Getting Things Done oriented web site 43folders.com and a GTD Guru in his own right. He came and did a tech talk last summer called Inbox Zero which was packed, and can be seen at http://youtube.com/watch?v=z9UjeTMb3Yk (and is highly recommended). This time Merlin is coming in to talk to us about time and attention, and how to maximize both.
If you think you don't have time to come to this tech talk, then you are likely one of the people who needs it most!
Speaker: Merlin Mann Creator of the 43 folders GTD focused web site and several others. Also regular on the This Week in Tech podcast and Macbreak weekly.

Thanks for sharing this video. Merlin had much to say and many things he mentioned created new questions of how one person or team of people could create more sensible way of using the most limited resource most people have. I'm sure that while one might have just little bit of time or money, it's not the amount of it but how we use it to make things better. By making small adjustments to way we do things, we might find ourselves closer to optimal way of getting things done (in our own way).
Why does Merlin keep apologizing for something being Randian? If you need to keep apologizing for what you say, stop saying it. Or, if what you say is true and useful, why apologize for it? The things he said aren't really even Randian.

However, Twitter idea... not bad either, but it might not work too well, because it requires work for people to post information there.
That might be important too, of course, but ironically enough sitting through this video might be a waste of time if that's not what you're after...
