Organize IT Recap: New Domain, Roadmap To GTD Failure

November 23rd 2007   Recap   6 comments

Organize IT recap for 23rd November 2007.

  • Hello and welcome to organizeit.co.uk! Yes, after procrastinating on buying a domain for too long, I’ve finally gone and bought one. I’ve also developed a new website design which I really hope you like. As with all major shakeups, there are lots of things to update, tweak and change so if you see any problems or bugs please, please let me know! Share your thoughts on the new design too.
  • Speaking of procrastination, check out this witty flowchart. It may take a light hearted view of the subject but it’s quite funny (or worrying depending on your point of view) how much I can relate to it. I especially like the section on food (if you don’t have to cook it then just eat it, otherwise simply go out for food). That’s so true to my life!
  • Cranking Widgets has a good article covering the roadmap to GTD failure and covers such points as only doing the weekly review when you feel like it, and never carrying around a pen and paper. The one about using your email inbox as a to-do list can also work the opposite way as I discussed in my mini series on to-do lists last week. Do you have any other rookie mistakes to add to the list? Share them in the comments!

Thanks for reading!

Congratulations, James! Finally, a dedicated domain name. I can confirm that your existing RSS items get redirected correctly – smooth transition. I like the new design, it’s friendly, a lot lighter and less techy.

Thanks for the positive comments, glad you like the new design. It took a while to move the site over to the new domain but thankfully, it happened with minimal problems.

I just started subscribing to your RSS feed about a month ago, and I really like the new design of the site.

The only thing I am having a problem with is the color of the links within the articles. I don’t know if it’s eyestrain from working in IT for so long or my browser, but it is very hard to distinguish the links from the surrounding text. When I roll over one the contrast is better, but that doesn’t help me find them in the first place!

I like a lot of things about your site, but one of my favorites is how you cross-reference related articles through the links in the text, so please consider a change of color!

Fixed it Johannah, hope it looks better for you now, let me know if you want more contrast!

Thank you so much. I can see the four links in this article with no problem now… just kidding! There are six, and they stand out just enough now without changing the look of the page.
