Merlin Mann on getting things done

Merlin Mann runs the 43 things blog, and recently spoke at the Maximum Fun conference on being creative and getting things done. It was, to say the least, an interesting speech -- a little raunchy, a little geeky - but in the middle section he describes all the things we do to stop ourselves. As I listened to that portion, I remembered me first starting out indexing, and freezing, unable to write an entry for my first professional job. "I can't do this!" Merlin talks about that moment and how to get past it, as well as how a new iPhone isn't going to help you get your novel written. As an added plus, he talks about tagging and the taxonomy that the Seduction Society is using. Who would connect those two worlds other than Mann?
