Tintín Cumple 80 Años

Parece ser que este fin de semana Tintín cumple 80 años. Una de las pocas cosas que tengo a menos de un metro de mi mesa es la colección entera de las aventuras de Tintín (que son vecinas codo con codo de la colección entera de las aventuras de Astérix y Obélix). No sé cuántas veces habré leído cada uno de esos libros pero la última vez que cogí uno fue estas navidades cuando estaba en cama con gripe. — 2009-01-11

Uno de los libros que he leído durante este 2008 ha sido Getting Things Done: The Art of Stress-Free Productivity de David Allen. En él su autor propone el siguiente método de productividad personal: cada vez que te venga un pensamiento deséchalo si no merece la pena o en caso contrario apúntalo para quitártelo de la cabeza (fase de recogida) cada cierto tiempo procesa la lista de pensamientos. Para cada pensamiento si es algo “accionable” y te lleva menos de 2 minutos házlo en ese momento. — 2008-12-31
