  • Long Live The Tache

    Since Christmas I have been sporting a new look – now it’s the time to announce why!

    I have been raising money for various charities by running (I’m doing 4 marathons this year for MND Scotland) but I have finally found a way where your donations can impact ME as well as helping MND sufferers and their families in Scotland.

    On Monday the 2nd of April my tache will be “born”.
    I will keep my tache for as long as there are donations to support it.
    My tache expects £10 per day – if the total raised is £100 then my tache will “live” until 10 days after the 2nd of April.
    The more you give the longer it lives – once it’s gone it’s gone !

  • GTD and RTM – The Missing Link (Penny Drops)


    I’m a big fan of Remember The Milk (RTM) and David Allen’s Getting Things Done (GTD).
    The one concept that I have been missing in the whole process is how to set reminders for following up emails.
    I regularly use a waitingfor tag and a tag for each persons name but my habit of actually creating the task is not quite there yet.
    The habit is no longer needed now.
    I have “discovered” that from RTM | Settings | Info there is an “Inbox EMail Address”. For any e-mail I want to chase I simply BCC the message to this address and it creates a task in my inbox. The body of the message goes into a note attached to the task.
    All I have to do then is move it to the appropriate list and set any tags or due date.
    I would recommend using BCC, if anyone discovers your inbox e-mail address then they will be able to create tasks in your inbox too!
