Activist workshop as poster
As more of my GTD-based system displaces my natural chaotic style, and leaves me relaxed & more on top of work, I’ve been trying to distill this sytem into a workshop for people busy with social action, and contributing to the commons, yet not as effective as they could be with the right system of organisation.
Buzzword bingo
One problem with taking systems traditionally favoured by vice-presidents of multinational companies is that activists are very wary of anything that smacks of management bull***t. In a directly-delivered workshop humour can be used to work past this, to the useful elements of systems like GTD
But when I attempted to turn the course into a poster, I found myself feeling very apologetic about the whole thing, and pushing the humour too strongly.
In the FOSS spirit of release early, release often, I attach the poster here - looking for useful criticism. E.g.:
- Does it get its message across?
- Does the humour (inc. crappy graphics) kill it?
- Is it meaningless - i.e. it really needs the workshop to explain it, and a poster isn’t an appropriate format?

I find the jaggies distracting, but that might just be me and my terrible screen and it won’t show up when printed.
Seems like a nice encapsulation.
As for the amazon affiliate link, why not set up http://www.goodgnus.org/gtdlink as a Redirect?

Ghostscript won’t print it on a4 either. Hrm.

Hello Mark,
I’ll tidy up the printed side. It was produced for A1 size, from an .odg file - I can let you have the original if it’s of interest. Or I can post it after tidying up.
Hmm. Maybe a permanent re-direct would make life easier, are there any other advantages? I should put up a disclaimer somewhere for people who aren’t aware about affiliate links although I’m not sure they’re any sort of problem?
Thanks for dropping by & commenting, btw :-)
