<p>Yesterday I was browsing <a href="http://www.43folders.com/">Merlin Mann’s 43folders</a> , and I’ve stumbled upon <a href="http://www.43folders.com/2004/09/08/getting-started-with-getting-things-done/">his definition of geek</a>: </p>
<blockquote>
<p>I think Getting Things Done appeals to geeks for a lot of reasons. Overgeneralizing for effect: </p>
<ul>
<li>geeks are often disorganized or have a twisted skein of attention-deficit issues </li>
<li>geeks love assessing, classifying, and defining the objects in their world</li>
<li>geeks crave actionable items and roll their eyes at “mission statements” and lofty management patois</li>
<li>geeks like things that work with technology-agnostic and lofi tools</li>
<li>geeks like frameworks but tend to ignore rules </li>
<li>geeks are unusually open to change (if it can be demonstrated to work better than what they’re currently using) </li>
<li>geeks like fixing things on their own terms </li>
<li>geeks have too many projects and lots and lots of stuff </li>
</ul>
</blockquote>
<p>Well, <span class="caps">GTD</span> does not appeal to me (even though I have already written <a href="http://aadm.github.io/2005-08-24-italian-gtd.html">a short note about it</a>), but all of the above points…. man, that’s me ! </p>
<p>I’m so glad not be alone in this world. Now, where can I have <a href="http://xkcd.com/c23.html">a t-shirt like this</a>? </p>
