Professor Grieser,
With each passing year I am reminded that the old adage of, ‘The more things change, the more they stay the same,’ is as true today as ever. As far as I’m concerned, the only real rule in the world of productivity tool rules; is to find a system that is functional, makes sense to that user, and then commit to that system with diligence — until an overpowering need is found that your current system cannot fulfill. I know that’s not as much fun, but it’s certainly productive. Your setup is beautiful in its simplicity and in your ability to stick with what works.

Thanks for promoting me, Donovan. I am not the professor and scientist Franz Grieser, just an ordinary writer :-)
