Hello my valued readers. Yes I am still alive. Thanks for all your email and messages wheter I was still Getting Things Done. I took a nice long break from this weblog to commit myself to some other projects and valuable things in my life. But we are slowly coming back to speed with What’s The Next Action. What did I do the past three months?

Well, most of the time I was Twittering the night away :-) Yes, I am officially hooked on this microblogging-tool. Research has shown I am somewhat of a Twitter-Star, whatever that means.
Ofcourse I have been following the growth of my young daughter Tess, she is almost one year old now. And I have been very busy at work and within my role as chairman of the Dutch Bloggies, a foundation (in progress) for the dutch blogosphere with which we publish a dutch webzine and organize the annual weblogawards.
I have also been working on the sideline on a dutch version of this website. But bigger. Together with some other lifehackers and GTD-fans in the Netherlands we are creating a new dutch website covering GTD, lifehacking and personal management. We plan to go live in september but you never know :-)

Does this mean you can expect new articles on this blog from now on? Well no…not yet. First I will go on a short vacation with my family to a internet-disabled part of France (I hope) to really get away from it all. I will be back mid-september and I know I need the last weeks of september for a couple of big projects, the ones I mentioned above. So my plan is beginning october, I will be back on this site.
In the meantime, I decided to pick up on a request I got from Craig Huggart, writer on the excellent Tech Rest weblog. He will publish some guestposts here during the coming period. But wait, there’s more! Do you also want to have a guest spot on this blog? I am opening up for guestwriters to come and join What’s The Next Action.
Sounds like an easy trick to fill up the spare time? Maybe, but during my work on the Dutch website I realized I can’t write it all myself. Having a weblog, tons of ideas for articles and little time to write it all, I decided that having multiple authors mught give some more variety in writing, give new light on known topics and also provides space for those who want to work on their personal branding.
Please leave a comment or email me directly if you are interested in guestblogging. I haven’t figured out all the nuts and bolts of it, but we’ll find that out along the way. Natural Planning Model 2.0 we might call that :-)

Frank, I’m interested in writing guest posts for your website as mentioned in the e-mail I just sent you!

You don’t have the time to write on your blog, and you think that we do have time??? Come on, what have you been smoking?
Just like you, I have 24 hours in a day, but I might consider reserving some minutes of it to help you out with this weblog :-)

I am also very interested in this Dutch GTD/lifehack site you’re building. Can you give me some more details?

Hey It’s Geoff from Gearfire.net

I would be really interested in writing a guest post while you are gone. Where should I send the article, and by when? I tried the email button on your blog, but it doesn’t work in my browser.

Feel free to contact me via email,

Geoff

Good to see you back, however transiently for now. Looking forward to the guest posts – great idea.
