GTD and GOOB

Here’s a little Org-Fu for you:

Getting Things Done starts with Getting Out Of Bed.

Getting up early [GUE just wasn’t as cool as GOOB] means that you can go jog with the Nike+, catch up on your RSS feeds, do your Daily Review, all in the calm and quiet of the early morning. One little life hack that I have tried in the past is simply moving the alarm clock across the room. No mindless snoozing allowed. This leaves a little something to be desired though. It’s sort of an angry, hostile wake up call.

Enter Clocky.

Clocky Beta

This thing showed up nearly an eternity ago (in blog time) on an MIT site and I thought it was a great idea — play a game of hide and seek with your alarm clock. You get one effortless snooze hit. After that, the clock hides somewhere else (a new place everyday) and you get to find it when it goes off again.

Now it looks like it will be mass produced and the release is near.

Clocky 1.0

So run, don’t walk, to the Clocky website and sign up for the release announcement. Surely, consistent GOOBing and a Ninja-like GTD status are only a purchase away.
