I watched 2 amazing movies this weekend. Kinda weird cause lately I get so bored with all Hollywood major movies. How they call it ….. blockbusters !? Well…. Most of them suck big time. But here are some of the best movies I have seen this year:
Juno
Still don’t get it why some people rated this film as a comedy but I anyway was way… way better that I was expecting it to be. And the lead actress…. fabulous performance. Hope she gets an Oscar Award for it. If you haven’t yet seen the movie, it is about a 16 years old girl who discovers she is pregnant.
Curse of the Golden Flower
Chinese movie! If you enjoyed Hero and Fearless you will definitely appreciate this masterpiece. Complex plot, superb settings, great costumes, beautiful music….. all in all a very good movie. What I don’t get is why in Chinese movies all the good guys die at the end! Maybe I am too used to the American endings.
Check out this Romanian girl. She has an extraordinary voice! I wonder how a talent like this doesn’t have a signed contract with a big label and Timbaland as a producer.
If theres a God, be aware, I’m a man newly made.
My son lies here, and only of him, am I afraid.
As I gaze into that face, I perceive that which is true.
I created him, and we created you… in his image.
Have you read The 4-Hour Workweek? I did! And I found it to be quite a nice book to read. It has so many cool ideas about how to manage your time and life. I even recommended it to some of my friends and colleges.
But afterwards I watched a lecture by Randy Pausch (more about his CV and about dramatic experience he is passing through right now on Wikipedia) about Time Management. And all of Tim’s ideas were there….. all of them. But Randy’s seminar was in 1998….. 8 years before Tim’s book. Check it out:
If you have read The 4-Hour Workweek you may find some of the ideas a little bit familiar :
How to handle email
How to do less stuff
How to avoid interruptions and meetings
How to get more vacations
Low Information diet (don’t watch TV, read less etc)
Sunt un maniac al listelor, al sistemelor de tip GTD, un cititor fidel al blogurilor din domeniu etc. Iar cand vine vorba de liste le-am testat pe toate: Tadalist,Backpack,Voo2oo, Remember the Milk etc… Dar nici unul nu m-a satisfacut complet. Intr-o vreme m-am impacat destul de bine cu Remember The Milk. Avea niste optiuni interesante precum:
Integrarea buna cu Google Calendar
Posibilitatea de a asigna taguri pe fiecare task
Introducerea usoara de date
Ii lipseau insa multe lucruri pe care le-am regasit acum in Todoist precum:
Posibilitatea de a crea o structura ierarhica de proiecte (in toate softurile de mai sus nu exista posibilitatea de a face subproiecte)
Posibilitatea de a crea un task recursiv: care sa se repete o data pe luna sau in fecare vineri
O cautare mai desteapta
Nu are taguri, smartlists etc dar pot fi usor substituite prin niste notatii standard, precum (T) Task pentru telefon sau (E) Task pentru email. Cei care aplica GTD stiu despre ce vorbesc. Daca va intereseaza domeniul testati-l.
