I’d like to hear what he does in his weekly review, step by step each action I mean, as this is something I’m struggling to get to work for me.

I’d also like you to ask him if us non-ituners can please get to access his podcasts too?

I’d really like to see Merlin’s full system out in full. It’s difficult to know exactly what he does. You can surf all over 43Folders, but it’s difficult to get your head around it.

Please, ask him to describe his system in full!

Could you please ask Merlin how he sees routine tasks such as exercise, meditation, etc. (Sharpen the Saw – Covey) fitting into a GTD process? Thanks.

Brett,

This is freakin awesome! I’ll try to think up a question or two. For now, I second GTD Wannabe’s question. There are SO many times that I want to tell my wife: “please email that to me, so I can put it on my X list.” I haven’t…yet.

By the way, are “n heads better than one” when n = 0?

Take care,
Andrew

Something that has always interested me is how GTD-afficionado handle GTD with other people, especially those close to them. How does Merlin handle GTD concepts with his significant other – do they speak the same language, or does Merlin translate concepts from GTD to non-GTD-speak, or does it just not come up? (Myself, I find that I’m kind of in the closet about using GTD – I do it quietly by myself and just say things like “I’ll put that on my list” when someone asks me to do things.)

It would be great if you could get Merlin to answer some questions.

Here are a couple of things I would like to know from him:
- which part of the whole GTD process is the most difficult for you and why?
- what are your favorite tools for Getting Things Done, and how long did it take for you to settle on that specific set of tools?
- you have interviewed The David extensively: what’s he like and what is his opinion about the exponentially growing GTD community?
- how on earth do you make the time to do all the things you do?? (do you consider yourself a GTD Master or do you simply never sleep?)
- what other important productivity elements/methods do you combine with GTD and how?

Good luck with the interview, Brett!
