curious omission

[egypturnash]

So I was procrastinating on doing Useful Stuff by surfing the Internet. This happens. I ended up browsing through 43folders, which is all about (a) being more productive (b) how cool Quicksilver is (c) moleskine moleskine moleskine moleskine.

and I suddenly had this thought: What the hell does the 43Folders guy actually do for a living?

I can't tell. I really can't. None of the links to his other web presences give me the slightest idea. Whatever he does, he must be really productive about it, I guess. Funny, though. Here's this guy whose entire net presence is based around talking about how to be more productive, and yet I have no clue what I might hire this incredibly productive guy to produce. Somehow, this feels like a great gaping hole.

I'd wager you're expected to hire him as a consultant to tell you how to live more productively.

Kind of like what Mister Success, Tom Peters, is most successful at is talking about success.

Here (http://lifehacker.com/software/interviews/interview-43folders-merlin-mann-038062.php) is an interview that mentions that he does consulting of a sort. Making interesting things on the Internet, and such.

He's Producing Productivity! (In a Proactive way!) (He's the Paradigm!)

yah, those people who get rich constantly going on about how productive they are and how they used to be stuck in low paying jobs... how you can get out of debt too!

bah.

'Me too!'

You know, I never noticed that.

After reading the site for a while, I actually went to a store and flipped through a few Moleskines to find out what the proverbial BFD was. To be honest, I'm still wondering.

I think you missed (D)3"x5" Index cards , though.
