What’s in the book?
The full contents are split across 3 handy sections for quick reference:
Part 1) 7 punchy, light-hearted essays exploring our complex lives that tackle the question: “why’s everything so complex, anyway?” Includes Zen Kitten in a Box and Parrots in Space.
Part 2) 5 fun, unmissable, paper-based systems that will change the way you look at pen and paper forever and help you simplify your life. (Don’t miss the story of how I ended up swapping my PDA for a banana!) Features the Todoodlist – a fun way to get things done on paper, and the Sudoku Calendar – another of the deliciously low-tech ideas I use every day.
Part 3) The 5-step guide to reduce complexity in your life. Practical advice to help you live simply that you can put into practice and get results with today. Part 3 also includes the blueprint for launch, a beautifully simple, one-page printable list of questions to help you launch new projects faster and turn your pipe dreams into reality.

Nick,
I’ve been waiting for this. Expect an order tonight (can’t order from work), and I’d like to be an affliate if you’ll have me!

Congrats on getting this out on schedule Nick. No putting things off for you!
I’m looking forward to reading (and implementing) todoodle.

@Brett & @Joanna — thanks folks! Hope you both enjoy it. For the record, anyone is welcome to become a Todoodlist affiliate: there’s no secret test or odd initiation process (though it would be fun to have one!).

@ Nick: I’m quite sure that I will, I’m a big paper junkie as you know from one of your previous posts (pats his hPDA) - maybe if you want a test, just get us to submit a handwriting sample

At this moment I am surrounded by unfiled papers, and I have not done my weekly/monthly review yet. Renegotiated to Sunday. I need this book.

Nick - Todoodlist was a very enjoyable read. You definitely have a talent for writing.
The productivity methods revealed in this book are creatively unorthodox. The personal examples you share demonstrate how these methods can be effectively applied.
Loved the fun essays and the delightful design. It’s obvious that you put a tremendous amount of effort into this.

Thanks for the lovely review, Sterling! Glad that you enjoyed it. You’re right — it took a long time to research, compile, design and promote, but it’s been worth it.

Nick,
I’m glad you were able to get this out on top of everything else you’re doing!
A question I’ve been asking myself for some time is “I spend so much time at the computer, how can I build in some time to get away from it?”
I’m looking forward to reading and promoting this because you rock!!!

Nick, Would this be a great resource for designers as well? I find myself wanting to use paper more to sketch out designs and design ideas. I would give Todoolist a read if it will help me get my creative ideas into place.

@JustChris — While Todoodlist will certainly help you fall in love with paper again, I didn’t write it to help with the initial idea generation process.
I found that when I went from creating websites straight on the screen to sketching out the designs on paper as wireframes first, the results improved dramatically and I cut down on development time too.
If you want to use paper to sketch ideas first, just go for it! I highly recommend that people use paper before they go to screen — be it web design, graphic design, animation, video, or writing.
If you’re looking for some fun ways to organise yourself on paper that you can use alongside your sketches and ideas, give Todoodlist a shot.

Purchased your e-book. Read it. Loved it. Thankyou. I am implementing changes to my organisational routines straightaway.

Nick,
I bought your ebook today, read and digested it. The fact of the matter, its all true. I am in total agreement. Keep up the good work.
