I am most definitely game for any such plans - throw me an email if you start any undertakings in this and I'll see how I can help play it out. And I can't help but picture you accessorizing a gaggle of GTD geeks with little ISBN pin tags - "Ooh! I'm 1585424579, who are you ?". PS - Don't mind me: I'm only mildy eccentric. Hmmm.

ROTFL :'-D .. considering how we can in fact play a little role in swinging the potent Csikszentmihalyi creative duo (son Chris a dangerman in no small way either!) flowing to the southern shores. Keen to swing a plan together.. maybe we crowdsource an ingenius lure..even craft something we could accessorize with an ISBN (hmmm...) oh you are too fabulous Andrew!

The big step right now is to hammer in all the necessary self-changes to become a full autodidact and use that to bootstrap in polyglotism. I'm afraid that this isn't a particularly erotic ISBN (I'll try *harder* next time), but it could tie in very nicely with your previous post about time keeping and whatnot: <a href="http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0874775043/" rel="nofollow">0874775043</a>. This recommendation is based upon the assumption that you're doing the odd bits of procrastination (although I'm tempted to believe that it afflicts everyone in Cape Town...). If this indeed the case, then you should first realize that once you understand a concept, you can then alter it with far greater ease. The Now Habit is quite wonderful in that regard. Over and above my recommendation, the GTD meme/cult has latched onto this book as another Ye Elder Holy Book and I am patiently waiting for them to stumble onto <a href="http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0060920432/" rel="nofollow">Flow</a> and see what unholy trinity could spring from that.

Well I am seriously looking forward to more insightful exchanges: okay I\'ll trade the 8-fold Way for your 4-fold ..and oh my gosh ISBN\'s (dude! that\'s almost erotic ..worked at Exclusive Books for many more years than I should\'ve because of my book fetish.. yum!) <em>scary, sure I shouldn\'t have divulged that bit of info</em> :-P Andrew - so excellent chatting to you Bit of the polymath in you I think.

I believe we\'re at the point where a gr8 deal of irrational optimism for the future we can construct will be needed in HUGE supply (particularly in South Africa where many seem positively addicted to safe-buckled cynicism). Geeks know better than most how to build whole worlds where none imagined they could.. which is why I still firmly believe that the geek shall inherit the earth :-D YAY for you Mr Saner (BTW Saner than who? how cool, wish I was).

Hopefully at some future date we'll get a chance to thrash out how the Fourth Way really works and trade books and ISBN's, but until then continue having as much fun as humanly possible.
