Productivity

In yesterday’s post on using Gmail to organize your digital life, I brought up the fact that I haven’t been really wowed by Imified yet. Initially, I was pretty excited to test this little guy out. Combining all of those services looked like a great idea. I gave it an initial test run, but unfortunately ...

Here are some great links to check out in your free time this weekend. I found all of these over at the del.icio.us popular pages. It’s pretty interesting stuff… but then again would I point you to anything that wasn’t? :) Hipster PDA Templates “Inspired by Laurent Baumann’s brilliant Flat WhiteBezel icon set, the templates ...

There’s a cool GTD web app that I’ve played around with called iCommit. It’s pretty interesting actually. It’s a little hard to understand at first, but once you get the hang of iCommit, it makes sense. Anywho, they’re apparently coming out with version 3 (they’re on version 2 right now), and it looks pretty sweet. ...

CNN has a great piece on how to cure email addiction. “There is a crisis in corporate America, but a lot of CEOs don’t know it,” Egan said. “They haven’t figured out how expensive it is.” I’ve written a little bit about the topic of not checking your email when you start or end your ...

As I David Seah wrestle with his productivity, I can’t help but empathize with him. I’ve thought that if I could just find the **magical combination of workflow tools **, I could get more into a habit of being productive and be relaxed and happy. I know I tend toward impulsive behavior, so creating systems ...

Workhack.com is such an easy todo list/writeboard application.  There’s nothing to it (almost literally).  It was built with the goal of keeping distractions limited.  There’s nothing flashy about this application at all.  The only ajax that’s used is the ability to drag and drop your list items. You can start creating todo lists without any ...

Sorry for the alliteration folks. I just couldn’t help myself. I’ll try to keep that at a minimum in the future. I recently had the pleasure of checking out MindMeister, a mind mapping service that rivals the likes of Bubbl.us. Mindmeister is great for anyone wanting to quickly dump their thoughts or ideas into graphical ...

This is the third installment in the GTD Cheatsheet series. Ahh, here comes the rewarding part. We’ve brushed up on the learning curve associated with becoming familiar with the workflow. We’ve got all of our stuff collected. Now we’re ready to plow through our huge mound of collected stuff and get to done! This post ...

Sometimes there’s no better way to learn than to see a master at work. Take chef Grant Achatz and his interesting creations of food as a case study. Grant is constantly making new dishes that defy conventional tastes. His creations contain strange concoctions such as soy sauce and chocolate, or olives in desert. And he’s ...

Nozbe is a just-launched GTD productivity app that allows people to easily create contexts, projects, tasks and notes via a simple web interface.  It’s much like Backpack except it was built with the Getting Things Done methodology in mind. The thing I really dig about Nozbe is the fact that you can work in contexts ...
