Thoughts & Tips For October

Health Update (Bulged Disk & Bike Injury)

Things are going pretty darn good. Not back to 100% but I'm not sure that is totally possible.  Just did a Sprint Triathlon on Sunday, Sept. 29 (500m swim, 17K bike, & 5K run).  I was slower than I wanted, but I finished, didn't get hurt, and didn't finish last in my age group!

Getting Things Done (GTD)

Several things going on related to #gtd:

• I taught two GTD classed in DC (#12, #13) in September 2019. It was a lot of fun, but I'm not going to try to teach two back-to-back classes in the future.
• David Allen recently released a new "workbook" for GTD -- I highly recommend it if you are new to GTD, or maybe you need some help in getting GTD to work for you.  I especially like the extra video content. 
• I recently recorded a guided weekly review and posted the audio.

Technology & Tips

I have had a "free" version of Plex Server running on the home network to serve up digital movies, photos, and music for several years. The free version is a solid product. But recently I upgraded to a version that enables access to our family's collection of media remotely while not on our home network.  Wow! Very nice! Especially when you are on travel.  No more copying down files before going on a trip.  Just get what you want, when you need it, while on travel.

If you get to New Orleans, then I highly recommend you visit the World War II / D-Day Museum:

Future

I am definitely ready for the 2019 Baseball Playoffs.  It should be a great October.
