Drinking from the firehose? In this episode, the GTD Virtual Study Group takes on overwhelm versus overload in a GTD smackdown. Want to know how we cope with everything that we have coming at us? Listen in and find out. A couple of notes: The episode on social networking recorded on March 26 was lost to the technology gremlins. Both GarageBand and the backup recordings failed. The next meeting of the VSG will be May 14. There is NO meeting on April 23. Thanks. Official GTD® Virtual Study Group website: http://gtdvsg.com
