Organize IT recap for 1st April 2007.
- My Clutter 101 series has been by far the most popular content here and as it is quite clearly a big issue for many of you I am going to continue expanding it and covering more tips on how to get organized. In the future I hope to compile them all together in one handy package. Keep an eye out for it. UPDATE: You can now view my Clutter 101 ebook.
- Did you know there is another GTD book out there? It’s true. It was published in 1976, was written by Edwin Bliss and is all about the ABC’s of time management. LifeClever has four pieces of advice from it and it’s really fascinating to see that such productivity concepts like Parkinson’s Law were being actively discussed over two decades ago. Goes to show that this whole productivity games isn’t as new as we like to think!
- If you ever have trouble getting into GTD then maybe you need a GTD-lite approach so you can learn the basic principles. Or better yet, give WSD (otherwise known as Writing S**t Down) a try! I like the idea of this even if it is slightly tongue in cheek. It’s all paper based. You just carry around index cards and a pen and jot down thoughts as they occur to you. GTD isn’t quite so simple, but is there a reason for that?
