I was first hooked to GTD [getting things done] by a very easy metaphor and question.  The question David Allen asked was, “What do you do before you go on vacation?”  The answer was, “You get everything ready so you can go on vacation.”  What does ‘get everything ready’ mean?  It’s about taking care of all unfinished business you might have.  And because I will be going on vacation, it’s what I will do; I will take care of unfinished business.

So far, the approach to Facebook has been mainly from a marketing perspective.

The idea is that decisions should be something rational; that you should be able to point out why you did something. However, I believe that this is pretty much rubbish. If we listen to our feelings, I think that’s when we get the most important information.

If you have a bar or restaurant and you would like people to come in to eat and drink beverages, there is one easy thing that you can do and that is get people free WiFi access. Sounds pretty simple, but is it really that easy? Yes, and the only thing you need to do is take a router, which costs around 50 to 200 bucks, lock it in to your assistant network, and get a computer gate to make sure it’s all safe and people won’t hack into your computer.

I would like to find out which way I am going with my business. At the moment, I have two ideas in my head for Serious Marketing. One way is to be an adviser. I’ll advise other people about marketing and online psychology. I’ll do that as a freelancer or consultant for another company. Or, I could do the marketing for my own company and its products. Obviously, this is something very financially interesting. This way, it all goes back to me, back into my pocket.

I think who you work with is a very important choice to make, both for your personal and business life. My business maxim is to only involve myself with people who I like to hang out with. This means all my business partners are friends, although not all of my friends are business partners. This gives me the opportunity to really enjoy doing business.

We often lose ourselves in our own frame of self reference and self evaluation without even realizing it. Feedback from other people can help by being multiple bases for reference. These different perspectives can help you in making decisions, and this of course is not solely based on your personal perspective.
