43 Folders | Time, Attention, and Creative Work TaskRabbit | Your deliveries & errands, done Getting started with "Getting Things Done" This article was originally posted during the first week of 43 Folders' existence, and, pound for pound, it remains our most popular page on the site. Please be sure to also visit related pages, browse our GTD topic area, plus, of course you can search on GTD across our family of sites. I’ll be talking a lot here in coming weeks about Getting Things Done, a book by David Allen whose apt subtitle is “The Art of Stress-Free Productivity.” You’ve probably heard about it around the Global Interweb or have been buttonholed by somebody in your office who swears by GTD. (It probably takes a backseat only to the Atkins Diet in terms of the number of enthusiastic evangelists: sorry about that.) Like I did the other day with Quicksilver, I wanted to provide a gentle, geek-centric introduction to Getting Things Done, so that you can think about whether it might be right for you. The Problem with “stuff” Stuff is bouncing around in our heads and causing untold stress and anxiety. GTD is geek-friendly

Startups, Talents, Jobs, Recruitment Platform Startup Crush: Gemmyo Not too long ago, I had the pleasure of meeting Pauline Laigneau, cofounder of French online jewelry startup Gemmyo. I’ll be totally honest; from afar, this startup looks an awful lot like US customized jewelry site Gemvara - but once I got to discover the story behind the French equivalent, I realized it was really something else. And I just had to add it to my Startup Crush list :) It’s really hard not to love the French startup founded in 2011 by husband and wife team, who have intertwined the story of their startup into the story of…their engagement. There are loads of things to love about this company – which is backed by Alven Capital and a number of other impressive investors from Aufeminin.com, PriceMinister and the likes. Guarantees: free shipping, free 30 day returns policy, free sizing and more from this little French startup. Personalization w/ great 3D image technology. Pauline’s inspiration ? Definitely a site to keep an eye on.
