  1. I applied to a CFAR workshop and got accepted - with a sizable scholarship making the whole thing affordable for me as a university student. And all I really had to do was ask! I wonder how many other cheap lunches I forwent and forgo.
  2. I am currently reading "Getting Things Done" by David Allen and I am implementing the suggestions there. While the implementation is a bit more complicated than anticipated, the system just makes so much sense. As the system is yet in the honeymoon phase I refrain from an unconditional recommendation.

Any chance you could relate the details for how the scholarship works and how much it is for? I am considering applying for something similar and thought I'd ask

Since I am not willing to publish details of my finances and I am not sure about CFARs policy regarding scholarships and information about them, I will not tell.

To make this post helpful though I tell you that applying to a CFAR workshop is a very pleasant experience and takes less than an hour total. The worst that can happen is that you have one hour less in your life, so take the risk.
