GTD update
Some of you have been wondering if I still do GTD. I still do. After getting an IPhone I modified my process a bit to take advantage of it’s ability to easily synch with gmail.

If this can happen there, it can even more easily happen here in Colorado, first because our mountains are taller. Also, European mountain runners are strong so you probably can’t blame this on the runners being out of shape or slow to get off the mountain.
