Pixelated Conference – Creativity, Inspiration, Productivity and Success

Via Chris Brogan whose blog post suggestion was via Mitch Joel whose suggestion was via OnClick, here is my suggestion of a “Pixelated Conference.”  The premise is having an online conference of various videos to take advantage of resources at hand.  At least that’s my interpretation.  It’s a way of keeping up with what’s cool, [...]

Embrace GTD and Gain Momentum

The last two weeks for me have been a time for experimentation.  I attempted to put a few changes into my work style, I pulled back on my blogging, on my blog reading and noticeably increased my productivity.  I found different ways of getting things done and I met an old friend – momentum.  
When [...]

Trust your GTD System

Several blogs note the ongoing battles one can have with your Getting Things Done system.  Half the battle is getting things figured out in the first place and determining the best set up for yourself.  Whether it involves index cards, a labeler, a Moleskine, a great pen to write with, an online GTD app or [...]

One of Those Days…

Today I had one of those days.  Seriously. 

Oh wait!  I bet you think it was a bad one, huh?  Why is it that when we talk about having “one of those days,” it usually goes on to mean it was a day from Hell?  Well, I’m not here to argue, but it was one of [...]

Reflections of a productivity seeker

Over the Christmas holidays I took the opportunity to increase my productivity in a way I never expected.  I took a full week off so that my family could travel 5 hours away to see more family and I had all intentions of listening to my iPod on the way down, learning more about ways [...]

GTD Simplified – Lifehacker style

As a “special” treat, it’s not one, but two, that’s right TWO blogs in one day!  Crazy times, life on the edge, kooky stuff today.  Tomorrow it’s overdue book encouragement day, but for now, let’s settle down and get to business. Lifehacker.com’s author, Gina Trapani, wrote how she has adapted GTD to fit her.  Worth a look.  

Cut the Chit Chat

Today’s guest post is from Mike St. Pierre of The Daily Saint. 
If you could measure how much chit-chat goes into an average workday, would you then keep it up or cut down on it?  When four veteran employees were fired last May due to excessive gossip at work, people were outraged.  At the end of the day, it [...]

Put off today what you can do tomorrow…

If you look around the GTD world, if you listen in to board rooms, conference rooms, at the water cooler, on phone conversations to spouses and on and on you’ll hear the same groan – email.  Email hell, email jail, inbox/sinbox; it’s all the same.  Email is the new voicemail.  We’ve made ourselves available in [...]

A Salute to the Fine Folks at Apple

I love my Mac.  I can’t say it enough.  Until a month or so ago, my history of issues with the Mac were minimal.  They still are, but converting to Leopard did produce a few challenges as would be expected converting to a new operating system.  But that’s not the purpose for this entry.  Let’s talk marketing… The marketing [...]

It Can Happen To You…

It can happen to anyone – you’re waist deep in your GTD program.  You’ve perused all of the online software and whether its web-based or not, you decide on what you need.  You purchase your note cards, your filing system, your labelmaker, your Moleskine and any number of other doo-dads as you undertake your Getting Things [...]
