Tom's 'getting stuff done' manifesto
- Think
- Design
- Play
- Do
- Tunes
- Write
- Connect
- Make
- Film
Work is changing. Emails, conference calls, meetings and managings suck time and energy. Through the whole Good for Nothing experiment I've rediscovered what it means to be a 'maker'.... anyone can prototype, anything can be prototyped. Prototypes help us better understand the problems we are trying to solve. I also coach, create, venture, facilitate/host and design learning experiences with people.
