Merlin interviews David AllenMerlin Mann has just posted the first in a series of interviews with David Allen, author of Getting Things Done. The series of conversations will focus on GTD implementation, with today’s interview tackling everyone’s worst habit: procrastination.

Merlin and David discuss some of the reasons why we procrastinate, followed with insights into how we can overcome it.
