I saw an article on Wired about EverNote today. The author waxes poetic about the new beta and the creator Stephan Pachikov. Of course I’m a sucker for beta software and something that is supposed to help me get and stay organized. Now EverNote is like MSFT’s One Note, except a lot cheaper (like free […]
It’s been about a week now since I switched over to Office 2007 Pro. I still haven’t played with Power Point (I’m not a big ppt guy any more), Word has been getting a workout for sure. Excel? On the other machine here at home that’s had Office 2007 for a month I’ve played a […]
So I saw on What’s the Next Action that he was dropping some GTD apps because they weren’t working for him. Here is the inevitable follow-up, 5 things he is going to try:
The article from last saturday caught me by surprise I must say. I am not used to receiving that much comments on one […]
Although I still don’t have an invite into Scrybe, I still watch for it in the news. DownloadSquad reports that Scrybe has added a new feature to their already powerful lineup of tools.
In Scrybe there is a Planner pane which contains your calendar and tasks, and now the ThoughtPad pane which contains web clippings, or […]
Over on What’s The Next Action there is a post that I think all budding GTD folks should read (hat tip to Slacker Manager). What is it? All the GTD tools he’s used, but has dropped or will drop. I’m not going to comment on his choices, because that isn’t the interesting point here. The […]
Presentation Zen, one of my favorite blogs, talks about the need for solitude in order to have effective presentations.
I’d agree with that. But, I’d go much further.
In today’s fast, fast, fast business climate, there has become too little time for reflection. There are lots of reasons for this, of course. Off the top of my […]
Its one week since the first of the year. How many of your resolutions have you kept? Really kept? Really?
The number of blog posts about resolutions last week, while understandable, points out the inherent weakness in making resolutions along with the crowd: the artificial outweighs the need. If you have to make resolutions, you will.
Then […]
In yesterdays post, I wrote about responsiveness and efficiency. In the article referenced, there was another gem that I think is an important pimpalicious work tip: focus on the “to-be” process, not on the current process.
If you or your company have already made the decision to change out something, the vast majority of time you […]
Ian Mackenize is going a series on the top 20 time wasters at work. How many of these are on your list? Which of these are the worst for you? Me, it’s 4, 7, 9, 10, and 15. Sometimes I just sit here spinning my wheels and think, maybe I’ll read my feeds again or […]
Chanpory on LifeClever has this great little GTD system for organizing a cluttered desktop (i.e. your files). It’s essentially setting up five folders that you can stash things into for later. Nice. This isn’t a catch-all system, but it is one that can help with the little things we toss onto our desktops in hopes […]
