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!)

'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.
