Not bad...

However, Twitter idea... not bad either, but it might not work too well, because it requires work for people to post information there.

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.

Why is every google video either recorded inaudibly low, or deafeningly high?

Kind of misleading title, it's not so much about getting things done as it is about managing your limited time in the context of working in a team.

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...
