GTD is <a href="http://www.43folders.com/2004/09/08/getting-started-with-getting-things-done" rel="nofollow">Getting Things Done</a>, a book and method for organizing your life and your tasks. 43 Folders is both a website and the idea that you use 43 folders to get organized. It's also known as a <a href="http://www.lifehack.org/articles/productivity/back-to-basics-the-tickler-file.html" rel="nofollow">Tickler File.</a> Inbox Zero is something I actually do with my e-mail. The general idea is that you try to have nothing in your inbox. For me, everything goes into an Action folder, meaning I have to do something with it, a Hold folder, meaning I'm waiting for something til I can deal with it, or it gets filed into another folder (or just deleted). Kris, thank you for making me be more thorough!

Just because you earn the equivalent of $20/hour at work, doesn't mean that you can work all day and still make that. Still, it is very important to spend our time wisely. And I agree, thinking in terms of how long you had to work to earn something can be really useful. I have to ask, what are "GTD and Inbox Zero and 43 Folders and those sorts of things"? Maybe I don't follow enough finance blogs to know what they are, but I'm not sure I've heard of them. I think that using your salary as a measure for how much your time is worth can be misleading.

It sounds like it covered a lot of material that would be useful in personal lives as well as the paid job world. You are lucky that you were able to attend!
