Thinking of several ideas that I can use to restart work on this unplanner site.
It’s going to be about stopping the planning activities and start doing those things we’ve in our minds for a long time.
Update: Even as I write this post, Google has heard your feedback and made some immediate improvements.

A simple example is the way we get lost reading one great blog post after another and adding more ideas to our already choked pipeline of to-do lists. In the hindsight, I realize that if I had concentrated all my efforts on one thing, I would’ve been an expert by now.
