On the completion front, I've recently completed my last final exam in managerial accounting & finance. While the A that I earned in this course only raised my GPA, by .001, I know that the information I learned will be invaluable. I wish I had taken this course many years ago. That knowledge would have saved me more than my tuition.
I'm presently working on my capstone management project, which I will present this summer. Once I mark that project off as completed, I plan to move several projects from my Someday/Maybe list over to active status.
These include:
- The next release of the ICA eProductivity Template for Lotus Notes
- My own 10-week start-up school adventure
- A Personal Knowledge Management (PKM) project
- A few other interesting projects, some using MindManager and ResultsManager.
For now, I plan to spend some time with my family, map out my client commitments and put together a master plan for the next 10 weeks. Oh, and I'll wrap up some draft blog entries and post them.

Eric,
I'm most interested in hearing about what this means:
"A Personal Knowledge Management (PKM) project"

Congratulations, Eric.
"I know that the information I learned will be invaluable. I wish I had taken this course many years ago. That knowledge would have saved me more than my tuition. "
This confirms, if it was necessary, the value of lifelong learning. I should perhaps take a course to learn to manage my personal finance! ;-)

Despite my excellent information management tools, I still find it hard to manage the information that I acquire in such a way that it can contribute to my collective knowledge of this information.
I plan to make it a project to revisit all of my systems to see how I can restructure them to support information management and knowledge development.
There are several productivity bloggers that I hope will join me. These include Michael Sampson, Kyle McFarlin, Matthew Cornell, Steve Richards, and Steve Holden, to name a few. These, along with any of my regular readers, will add greatly to the richness of this activity.
As always comments and suggestions welcome.
I'll post more, soon.

It is funny you just blogged about this. I just got a new Toshiba M400 for work to upgrade to from the Toshiba Tecra M4, and I am seriously considering a complete overhaul of my day-to-day systems. One radical idea is to only take data from my M4 that I can identify as necessary. I think I'm lugging around data in My Docs and in Outlook at is nearly 10 years old. So a fresh data re-boot is definitely something I'm seriously considering. - Steve

Thanks, Steve.
I plan to start blogging about personal knowledge management. I hope to find a number of folks to join me in this PKM adventure. Perhaps you'll join us?
