I found this blog today, its a report by Rick Von Feldt describing first hand what happend when a tsunami hit Phuket on December 26th 2004..

Rick Von Feldt is an American from Topeka, Kansas. He has lived for the last five years in Singapore, working in the IT Industry. He headed to Phuket, Thailand for a 5-day holiday on the beach. Four minutes after his arrival to his beach hotel, the Indian Sea Tsunami hit

The blog, along with photos makes very chilling reading.. over 124,000 people (thats almost one seventh of the population of London) are confirmed dead..

Ok, So I’m pretty unorganised.. I’m good at what I do, when I do it right (or so I’m told). I dedicated to what I do, and I believe I put the right things first. However, on the flipside of that, I struggle with getting everything I need done, and it tends to mean I end up only working and having no other time, or just ending up very stressed… I once said I did an 80% job on 70% of my tasks, and thats something I dont like, and of course there wasnt any social or non work time in there…

So I’ve mentioned Mark Forster a number of times in a few posts but I’ve also thought about looking at the David Allen method of ‘Getting Things Done’ or GTD.

I’ve read Marks books and they seems to make perfect sense. I’ve heard about Davids system and read good feedback, especially from Marc Orchant..

So the question is… which should I go with.. I can get personal coaching from both. Mark is in the UK, David is not. I’ve at least read and started to understand Marks system (which is I think very different from GTD)

I’d be interested to know what the GTD system provides, but at the moment gut feel is for Mark…
