After the question, "Er, what is a blog?" the 2nd most-oft asked question I get is, "I barely have time as it is to a) publish an e-newsletter or ezine b) maintain my Web site c) write anything coherent... how in heck will I find time to blog and often would I have to do it?" The answer... not that often. But several times a month at a minimum. If you've launched a blog and are not posting new entries once a week or so, you're not blogging enough. The name of the game is fresh. Fresh content, fresh ideas, fresh ways of thinking, fresh links. So, regretfully, I've de-listed David Allen from my list (see right) of Thought Leadership Blogs. Allen is author of Getting Things Done and a sought-after productivity consultant. He gives workshops to Fortune 500 companies as well as individual professionals. Yeah, I actually check my own listings to make sure my "picks" are good examples. If you're not, you're off the list. Sorry... Here's Allen's blog, which he hasn't updated since Oct. 31st.

Seems as if David Allen needs to read his own book on this one.

Yeah, I know what you mean about DA’s blog. Bums me out too. But there are plenty of other good thinkers out there, riffing on the GTD jive… officezealot.com/gtd is a good place to start!

Debbie,
I love the de-listing action! I cruise blogs to learn. Landing on an unkept blog is like gulping a big glass of ice cold milk…a two month old big glass of ice cold milk. Now you have to get another glass of milk, clean up what you spat out and rinse your mouth out. Who has time?

How To Read/Write A Blog
Since blogs are still pretty much in the early adopter phase, I thought I’d provide a few good links to help get some folks up to speed (if you’re not already). About Blogs, in general - Technorati provides a tidy
