The Real Meaning of Productivity: Why Oliver Burkeman Gets GTD (and Cal Newport Doesn’t)
I am an Oliver Burkeman fan. I deeply enjoyed Four Thousand Weeks and have been a long time subscriber to his newsletter, The Imperfectionist.

Links, agh.
Just spent 15 minutes trying to surface an article from a blog I read a couple of weeks ago. Coudn’t find it in Reader, or my Shaarli instance. Eventually found it by digging into my RSS feed reader and reviewing all of my feeds. Fortunately I pruned that number down a bit a few months…

PESOS vs POSSE
I didn’t realize Dries founded/manages Drupal until I checked out the about page on his website. In any case, he has a really excellent comparison of PESOS vs POSSE on his site. For me, I’m just trying to find as friction-free a way to collect/post/share. After a bunch of false starts I’m leaning towards WordPress…
