279 Days to Overnight Success
If you have any interest in building a presence on the internet this manifesto, 279 Days to Overnight Success, by Chris Guillebeau over at The Art of Non-Conformity - Unconventional Strategies for Life, Work, and Travel might be worth looking over.
Dave Pollard linked to this manifesto on his blog yesterday and I found it a good read. This guy's pretty sharp. And making an online living while traveling the world.

Commitment is the Glue that Binds
But, the component of personal commitment is my favorite lesson from GTD project planning. It means I’ve knowingly agreed to let this thing become an acceptable interruption in my life. It means that other things might have to wait because of this, and that’s okay. Maybe most importantly though, commitment is the glue that binds your daily activities to your “higher altitudes”—it’s how you can make sure your values and your priorities in life are reflected in what you do every day.
