My point being - there is a limit to how far being more efficient or productive will get you.

There seems to be two kind of people: those who swear by the new social networks, and those who claim that the end is near and that they are a supreme waste of time. I was surprised finding some highly productive academics in facebook :). Can you tell us your views on this?

Any lessons learned from your GTD for faculty pilot program?
