Productivity

Like it Matters has an intriguing post about trimming your attention sails.  In short: how to cut waaaaaaay back on your digital inputs. The author Brian was recently motivated to storm the beaches of his attention span and take back what was rightfully his. The post has an incredible list of very helpful things he ...

This guest post is by Leo from Zen Habits. If you like this post, I recommend you check out his site or subscribe to his feed. It’s commonly known that the one commodity you cannot have more of is time — once it’s gone, you ain’t getting any more of it. But that’s only partly ...

Zen Habits has an incredible and insightful post that outlines a new beefed-up GTD system. It just plain rocks, I tell you.
