Books and Lunch
Today was another day at the office. Rather pleasant weather outside and a productive environment inside thanks to headphones that I remembered to bring today. Then again, the office wasn’t as loud as it normally tends to be.
For lunch I tagged along with a few co-workers and ended up going to great restaurant that had a hometown feel to it. The food was cheap and surprisingly very tasty (although a lot of it was fried which instantly means slightly unhealthy).
All of that food (rice, soup, spaghetti, salad, fried fish,shrimp, and muscles) for 790 yen. The shop is next to the akasaka-mitsuke station across from a restaurant called the Miami Garden (it sells pasta and pizza).
Later in the day I ended up talking with a co-worker about the book Getting Things Done. I was interested in his review of it and in learning more about the book’s content. He had a copy on him, which sparked the conversation, and I took a moment to thumb through it.
I’m actually quite interested in book layout, typography, and structure as of late. Reason being, that I myself am finishing a book that has been in the works since last year. My book will published soon, hopefully by the end of March, - so more information on that soon to come.

Well, I own that book. Though Ironically, I never finished it. Guess its not as awesome as some make it out to be.

haha, you need the pre-introductory book on how to finish the book about getting things done
i particularly liked a lot of the layout, typography (excluding chapter titles), and inserts that the author used. As for the content, I think he makes some good points but I have a feeling that people overlook the real source of productivity - and that source is not found in any particular system, and could be a part of all of them. Which is a topic my book is going to talk about.
