Organize IT recap for 23rd June 2007.
- As much as I try I just can’t whistle. Thankfully, it turns out that there are many people who can’t do it. It’s with this in mind that I thought I would mention this little guide which covers an alternative technique for whistling using your hands. Useful if the traditional way is just impossible to do.
- Getting up early is generally regarded as an important aspect of being truly productive. The logic is that because you’re up before everybody else it gives you a couple of hours of uninterrupted time to get things done. I’ve tried it and am still reserving judgement because I feel I’m very much a nightowl and getting up early just leaves me grumpy no matter how much sleep I get. However, if you’re tempted into becoming an early riser check out this great fifteen point guide.
- Over at the ever great Zen Habits, Leo has done a highly detailed Getting Things Done FAQ. I feel this is worth mentioning because there are a lot of budding GTD-ers out there who maybe haven’t read the book yet or have read it and have a lot of questions, and a FAQ would really help. In the absence of an official one, I think Leo has done an excellent job.
- Seeing as I am currently cracking down on self-help myths at the moment I thought this next post was interesting. Stephen over at Produtivity In Context has done some research about the commonly held belief you can change an habit in 21 days. If you google it, you’ll come across a lot of references to being able to fix habits with 21 days of consistent focus. However, as Stephen discovered, much of this idea is plainly false – you cannot put a timeframe on these changes.
