GTD and nanowrimo

I love working under pressure. Thus, writing under the aegis of Nanowrimo is highly rewarding, since I get to write all kinds of outlandish things, and people actually like it. Well, I like it.
However, that little procrastination demon appears, and moves me to do something, or not, and hence
writer's block. Bad block, bad!
So, it is with great glee that I present to you today Hack your way out of writer's block, from the brilliant mind of Merlin Mann.
The list is as follows, and I write it just out of necessity to get something for myself, Mr. Merlin. I am not plagiarizing you, and I would not think about copying anybody that has such an awesome name.
Eh, back to the list:

  • Talk to a monkey
  • Do something important that's very easy
  • Try freewriting
  • Take a walk
  • Take a shower; change clothes
  • Write from a persona
  • Get away from the computer; Write someplace new
  • Quit beating yourself up
  • Stretch
  • Add one ritual behavior
  • Listen to new music
  • Write crap
  • Unplug the router
  • Write the middle
  • Do one chore
  • Make a pointless rule
  • Work on the title
  • Write five words
Agh. Done

Now, where was I? Oh yeah, killing kittens.
