My own method of organization is derived from GTD and I am hopeful that some of the topi cs I will touch upon will help you to spend less time micromanaging\, to f ind ways to focus and to be more productive.\n\nHere is what Wikipedia say s about GTD: \nGetting Things Done (GTD) is an organizational method creat ed by David Allen\, described in a book of the same name.The Getting Thing s Done method rests on the principle that a person needs to move tasks out of the mind by recording them externally. That way\, the mind is freed fr om the job of remembering everything that needs to be done\, and can conce ntrate on actually performing those tasks. [...] In 2005\, Wired called GT D "A new cult for the info age" (http://www.wired.com/culture/lifestyle/ne ws/2005/07/68103) describing the enthusiasm for this methodology among inf ormation technology and knowledge workers as a kind of cult following.\n\n "Am I doing it better?" : Conveying the message to athletes\, Simon Fother gill\n\nAs sensors continue to pervade our environment the\nsupported comp lexity of biomechanical models increases. This motivates us to seek ways of helpfully communicating the kinetic data to athletes as technical feedb ack. A useful form of feedback is similarity\; an evaluation of algorithm s to automatically approximate\nsubjective judgements of similarity is pre sented.
