January 14 This site will launch in one week
After dragging my feet for 8 months on developing a company site I’m setting a deadline. By next Saturday, this site will be functional and free of half-written/abandoned pages. If I want to make this work, then it’s time to put on a decent public face and start recruiting new clients. Not having a decent online portfolio or company profile has been weighing on me, and the guilt just gets worse the longer I put it off. I may need to forgo some of the snazzy diagrams and interactive effects, but at least there will be something here besides “content tk”.
One of the main motivations for this has been implementing the Getting Things Done productivity methodology. Now, I’ve always made to-do lists and I’ve always clamored for order in my workspace, but I had no idea that personal productivity and organization could be taken to this level. Despite the cheesy cover and annoying hype surrounding this book, it really has changed my life in a way that I’ve always wanted it to. With these newfound project management skills, taking on the design of this site has never felt more approachable. Keeping track of news and ideas about Gridwork on this site is part of keeping my head clear. After all, I started this company in the first place so that I could spend more time in the relaxed, creative state that GTD claims to enhance.
