    About this ebook

    Are you looking for a better way to do self-management? Are you frustrated by clunky todo-list managers that just get in the way when all you want to do is record some thoughts and ideas? Would you like a more free-form and open-ended approach? This book by Kurt Olderman proposes a method that takes what is possibly the most free-form foundation of all - a blank sheet of (virtual) paper - and builds upon it a coherent and powerful approach that will allow you to get organized, get on top of things, and focus on the task at hand. Kurt has been using this method for many years and now swears by it, and wants to help others realize similar improvements to their own self-management techniques.

Do you find existing tools either too simplistic or too burdensome and frustrating to use? Would you rather an approach that gave you maximal freedom, while providing a defined method to help guide you in creating an effective, consistent and manageable approach to self-management? Then this book may have just the solution you are looking for—or if not at least provide you enough raw ideas and techniques that can help you craft a system that works for you.

      First of all, let’s be clear—I am not going to begin by preaching to you about the stresses and all-consuming busyness of modern life, and why merely keeping on top of things has become so difficult. You already understand that and are looking for a solution—you would not be reading this book otherwise.

      What I will begin by talking about however is why a new method for self-management is needed, and why many of the existing approaches are deficient and often end
