How to Read a Book by Mortimer J. Adler and Charles Van Doren is THE classic text on reading thoughtfully. Is it still worth reading, even though it was last updated in 1972?
I’m trying a new thing. I’ll be blogging one post per week as a paid review of a service related to LifeDev’s readers. This is a way for me to earn a little to advance the website, and at the same time introduce you to new products/sites. I’ll never review something unrelated to this audience,… Read more
I don’t think I have to tell this blog’s readers how hard it can be to stay on task when working on the computer. That’s why “concentration applications” are great tools to have.

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.… Read more
