Productivity

Dave Pollard at How to Save the World has a great post on how he actually stopped doing the unimportant urgent tasks. After initially seeing the title of his article, I reckoned Dave had been poppin’ some crazy pills. But once you read his post, you’ll see that Dave is far from being a passenger ...

The third part of this Avoiding Entrepreneur Burnout series deals with resting. Yay! The funny thing about rest is that most people don’t see the benefits, even though they know the negative effects of not getting enough. And it’s real easy to blame just about everything on being tired. That’s why we’ve got all sorts ...

I stumbled upon this speed reading tool via del.icio.us. It’s a handy little tool that trains your mind to read at a faster pace, mainly because it doesn’t allow your mind to do two things: backtrack over what’s already been read and subvocalization. The purpose behind apps like these is to train our minds to ...

The stoplights in my town are something to be desired. (That’s the nicest thing I could think of without using four and five letter words.) Ok, ok… they suck. Bad. At night, they’re exponentially worse. Here’s why: for some odd reason, the sensors don’t work right late at night. I can’t tell you how many ...

Idea dumping is a lot like brainstorming. (I happen to be an expert on idea dumping because I just made the term up 5 minutes ago.). Brainstorming to me is more of a process where you have a problem, and you try and find a solution to it, with the end goal in mind. It’s ...

I used to have this routine where I would check my email, go to bed, wake up, eat breakfast, and check my email again. I used to believe that this was the way to do things; by making sure I didn’t miss anything throughout the night. I figured that if I wanted to be productive ...

To Do or Else has a great blog post with 3 steps to saving more time with RSS. It’s a fairly simple post if you’re familiar with RSS, but the key thing that I got out of the article was incorporating the 80/20 principle (also known as the Pareto principle) into organizing your rss feeds. ...

There’s a great post on how GTD relates to internet marketing at conversionmarketing.com. Basically, Ian lays out 2 case studies of business trying to market their their products online. The major difference between the companies: action. It’s not how big you start. It doesn’t necessarily matter whether you hire an agency, either. What matters is ...
