I have fewer listeners now.  Where did you go?

I removed the comments section from the last couple podcasts, and going forward, will not be asking for comments/input.  The intention of this podcast is to share what's been going on in my life during last week.  I always look for things/tools/best practices that I think will be useful for people and mention them in my podcast.  

ASW number status - still waiting.  Maybe early November.  

GTD Tip of the week - use a calendar (ideally one for everything -- work and life) and externalize your mind into it.  Use it to capture items for a day without a time.  Also, for a day with a specific time.  An idea is to also include a specific time for yourself -- self-care.  

Because voice to text systems are not cheap, I came up with an idea...
