Lifehacking and enhancing productivity
A recent obsession of mine has been the idea of increasing productivity through systems or tools. Yeah, it’s kinda all the rage in the online community these days, but in case you aren’t one of the early adpoter types, here’s a bunch of links to get you started:

Thanks for the inspiration. I just organized 20+ post-it notes from around my desk and typed them into a txt file. -it’s a start. My wife is into the David Allen books, but she has always been a productive, successful type. New template is nice, although I really liked the white and blue grid too.

A web design oriented blog, again by KDR, but from what I’ve read on the others, one focuses on blogs, one on general productivity, and one with web design in mind, though this one is a little bit of a stretch.

… I just finished reading Ready For Anything by David Allen and the very next morning received my copy of Getting Things Done in the mail. It’s been a great help already, though I’ve found i’m writing everything down in a notepad right now, decidedly lowtech. I still use my pda but it got clogged with unapproachable projects and has a connection problem where it would add all of my todo’s to my list as unfiled (double entries).
So it was totally getting unusable. I’m really excited to gather these notes and my pda notes and my other things i’ve been writing on and gather them up this weekend and do a massive cleanup. Hopefully I’ll get to use my pda again soon.
I’m also really excited in thinking that I’ll be able to get the GTDTiddlyWiki running on a Nokia 770, thus creating a web friendly todo list, no complicated synchronization necessary.
Just found a forum post on David Allens site called All our favorite GTD Links in one spot. nuff said.
