February 22, 2011Read moreI’m working on a translation of the ETP in German with the help of a reader, but apparently “emergent task planner” is difficult to translate. Any ideas?

Son of French ETP: Translation Wars!
February 22, 2011Read moreA few days ago I posted the first non-English version of the Emergent Task Planner, and I’ve gotten several comments from French speakers about it.

If there are other languages you’d like to see for the ETP, I have made a Microsoft Word .DOCX file with the source English text; email me if you’d like to try your hand at a translation. The major constraint is that the text needs to be the same length (or shorter) than the original English phrase for it to fit in the layout.

February 18, 2011Read moreI outlined my thoughts on the Groundhog Day Resolution System last week, pushing the actual goal definition for a later time. In today’s post, I push the definition a little further, but first there’s a detour through Joss Whedon’s Firefly, which has helped me see what was missing from my earlier plans. In short: I did not recognize my lack of love for my plans. (more…)
