Kickstarting Volunteers: Getting stuff done with nothing
The first talk on at the Shopfront was mine. I
made a deliberate decision to go first for a number of reasons: Get it over with; I was ready; I wanted the rest of the day to listen to the other talks.
I chose to read the talk from the world lightest, thinest laptop - no cables required. In other words I read it from paper. Why? Well when everyone goes Hi-tech, I go Lo-tech. All I need is a bit of paper, some light. I don't even need an audience.
I made the short title up straight away to let everyone know an immediate application of the talk. Easy to understand and say.
I started by going down to the Shopfront, picked a spot in the light, marked out my standpoint - I tend to walk when I talk so placing 2 markers either side keeps me in 1 spot. Had a chat to a few people who came down first. Then talked.
I'd timed the talk over about 5 times in practice to make sure it was < 20 minutes. It was about 15 minutes in all.
The images you see here are by @dan who really did a great job transcribing my major points into pictures. I didn't realise he'd done this till lunchtime till I started taking shots upstairs. Thanks Dan.
I first read out some keywords on what the talk was about, some quick concepts then read the talk.

My new PDA, made from Duck Tape. It is a Duckster PDA
I know it should be PAA, but PDA has sort of entered the lexicon, okay?
This is the second attempt. I think it looks smarter that the first, but the first is the one I shall use - not sure why.
Unlike Mr. Allen, I believe in hanging files and will not give them up. Simply because, as an artist, I have a lot of bulky bits to file, and gravity keeps hanging files shut.
I killed my action files, which replaced my tickler file.
Action files were associated with actions I did repetitively. These were file, read/review, data entry, (bring) home, waiting for. Theoretically they should work where I feel like doing a certain thing and have it all in one place. In real life it became a dump that I never checked. I'm not sure why, I still like the idea. I think it's just that I should be doing something with it either right away or putting it with project materials. Another factor is that I find that digital Ticklers and Action groupings work better for me than their paper counterparts.
To the left you can see my Current Info files, where I keep folders for happening stuff. These I still use, though instead of having "XYZ Current Info" i'm going to pull these folders from my reference file or if it's something I keep for a few years I'll make a XYZ 2007 folder right away. When I'm done I'll just file it.
That said I'm finding that if I'm using Basecamp regularly and efficiently I don't need to keep some checklists or old emails from three years ago, it's the same stuff, different year. It also requires some diligence to keep everything out of email too.
I spent the last week tearing apart the connector from the barn to the house. I became fast friends with a big crow-bar and a sledge hammer, I even used a sawz-all! There is something very satisfying about taking things apart, and knowing that you will make something even better. Most of the wood was rotton and or moldy, so it was doubly amazing to be rid of it.
The balcony is on the top floor of the barn where we are constructing a studio for me to make lots of art in!

I arranged in the style of Getting Things Done. I want to aid of review day-to-day. and I packed in laminate film it.
I had no idea that I could cram so much stuff into one tiny office!
(My darling fiancé and I spent the last two days cleaning and organizing my work office. More, and better, "before" and "after" photos to follow soon!)
These three tubs will eventually contain files to store in the attic--things I may need for reference someday, or that have sentimental value.

After going through the huge mess and trashing much of it, I was left with two main types of stuff: reference, and projects.
The reference went into files in a file cabinet, to be gone over again for Next Actions, Project Information, and Someday Projects.
The Projects themselves went onto a list, and I put each project in its own little pile.
This diagram shows how to score the paper for folding. Score paper on thin lines on one side, turn paper around and score where the thick lines are. Paper can be scored with a bonefolder or an empty ballpoint pen.

My office has been so choked with junk for so long, because it's my office and the server room and the IT storage area, that I couldn't even see how much of it was basically garbage! This was just the start of it!!

BEFORE GTD: I have a very small office and it is especially tight since I have two desks in it. I actually have about 3 feet between the two desks to squeeze in my chair and self. I also have three 6ft bookshelves in this office with 6 other book cases spread throughout the house. I need a bigger office!
My gut feeling here is that Carolynn (subject from my stranger #5 portrait) did a somewhat massive neighborhood cleanup, though I couldn't find her to get the official story. Of the 15 shopping carts, Home Depot, Target, WalMart, Office Max and Food City are among those represented.
While I was out shooting this, a Department of Public Works employee drove by. We chatted and he was following up on a call about a homeless camp nearby.

Last year I came across the best book idea I never had: The Field Guide to Shopping Carts. I always think of that when I encounter carts in the wild now.

Row of brand new Moleskines. In no particular order: diary 2007 (day per page), sketchbook, info book, squared notebook, plain notebook and ruled notebook.
