Welcome to the January 2010 edition of The Carnival of Productivity And GTD. This is the first of Systems-Overload's blog carnivals for the new year and a new decade. We're really impressed with the submissions that we've seen for this edition.
We initially became involved in blog carnivals by submitting articles to various blog carnivals and then we decided to give running our own a try with the Holiday Spirit Blog Carnival. This led to the creation of blog carnivals focused on Productivity and GTD, Family Life, and one focused on creating the Better Life. We started out wanting to publish them more frequently but found that the effort required to do this far exceeded our bandwidth so we fine tuned the schedule over the course of last year. For 2010, we'd like to publish around one blog carnival a month. This will hopefully allow us to publish our own material and as well as sharing good articles with you all, helping other writers/bloggers get more exposure, and allowing us to live our lives as well. If you have any suggestions for topics you'd like to see covered in future editions, feel free to leave a comment. If you have a post that you'd like to submit, please do so via the submission from link. Thank you to everyone that submitted posts! Remember that by subscribing via your RSS reader or via email, that you won't miss the next blog carnival hosted here and you'll know when new material has been posted.

From Systems-Overload
As 2010 is the start of the second decade in 21st century, it makes sense to think about what you want to this decade to mean to you and what you want to accomplish. We recently published the article What Will This Decade Mean To You? It started with a MindMap of areas in most peoples lives that they could use some planning and goals in. From there you'll find some questions to think about in each of the areas that will get you thinking. Just seeing the MindMap can inspire you to think about your own life. Give it a look and see if it can help you.That concludes the January 2010r edition of The Carnival of Productivity And GTD. We really hope that you get 2010 off to a great start and make the second decade of the 21st century your best yet!
