Episode 249: A John Nash Moment
TOPIC: Personal Crazy Walls
This week, Dan and Merlin start by covering a lot of things that you might actually be thinking of.
The meat of the episode focuses on a listener question about deciding what things go where—leading to a pretty nerdy exegesis of Notes vs. text files, reminders vs. task managers, and where stuff goes vs. where it probably should go.

- Ungainly X-Mann Meetup #11 — Merlin Mann
MERLIN MANN (Back to Work, Roderick on the Line, Reconcilable Differences, You Look Nice Today, et al.) invites you to drop by Two Cats Comics on the evening of Thursday, December 3rd to hang out, talk about comics, and just say, “Hi.”
Mentioned in Episode 8: I Know Who Killed Me, the lair of a killer, which is full of all the things a good serial killer needs to do their work...and to be charged with said work by the police when they find the Evidence Dungeon.
"Just pretend that you've got a microphone... and that microphone is always on."
Definition: A notebook…where you log and probably describe and explain your activities while performing it. Not an agenda.
Special guest host Merlin Mann joins Jason to talk about the holidays, Apple TV, iPad Pro, and how to recommend Apple products.
The Pensieve is an object used to review memories. It has the appearance of a shallow stone or metal basin, into which runes and strange symbols are carved and precious stones are fitted.
