Thankyou. Thoughts like these come from something greater and more generous than I can be or express, I supply the hands.

Trying for over 10 minutes to find words to describe the power, beauty and pureness of this blog.

Comment on GTD and the Pomodoro technique by Dand

For implementing GTD you can use this web-based application:

http://www.Gtdagenda.com

You can use it to manage your goals, projects and tasks, set next actions and contexts, use checklists, schedules and a calendar.
A mobile version is available too.

@stampf Thanks for the input. I generally cannot put things straight into my system – I use Outlook for my tasks so it would require typing and take my attention away from the conversation. I also find it helpful to collect things (often as a mindmap) in a raw associative form and do the processing in a seperate step.

I do find it very useful to do processing in meetings when things are too vague: then you need to clarify who is going to what and when.

I usually don’t even take notes during meetings. If things come up that I need to track, I enter them in my GTD system right away (next action, waiting for, etc.)

Should I need to keep something I wrote during the meeting, it’s probably some Reference material that get filed in the proper folder.

@danae – Gnome stew is one of my favorite blogs too! I have been looking at mouse guard too, also because it has some wonderfully innovative ideas. The Burning Wheel rpg system from the same people is also worth a look.

Although I haven’t played it myself, this brings to mind an article I read over on gnomestew.com mentioning a new rpg called mouse Guard. He specifically mentioned that the structure and rules system would probably work well for teaching/learning the RPG basics. Here’s the link:

@Karri, ideally a child-friendly group is a good place to start off – you can learn from experienced players and there will already be a Game Master. I used the Basic Set very successfully with my son and you can download the D&D Test Drive (the whole basic game and a starter adventure) legally here http://www.wizards.com/default.asp?x=dnd/4dnd/dndtestdrive

I recommend starting with D&D version 4, rather than 3.5. It is a bit easier to learn, loaded with cool-for-kids goodies and all the new stuff that comes out will be 4.0-compatible.

Thanks for all the great info! I just found your post because I am researching RPGs for my 10yr old son. He’s seeking to learn so he can form or be apart of a group. He is an avid video gamer and think he could handle this type of game, but I’m not sure where to start. My main problem is I don’t have any experience w/D&D. Maybe I’ll have to look into Dungeon and Dragons 3.5 or the Basic Game set.
