Activist workshop as poster
Monday, March 30th, 2009As 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?
