Organize IT recap for 12th September 2008.
- This week I expended my series of productivity tips, discussing the importance of streamlining your system and the hard landscape. I hope you are enjoying this series because in the near future I hope to expand the series and turn it into my next ebook. Keep an eye out for updates.
- The ten worst job tips ever is incredibly insightful. There are all sorts of tips out there involving trying to stand out from the crowd and make an impression of perspective employees. However, as this article proves, most of it is very nieve.
- Tim Ferriss encourages people to basically go on an information diet. While this is great for not filling your head with useless junk (and there is really no denying that the bulk or what we watch and read is junk). However, Nick Cernis makes a very interesting counter-arguament – it leads to you not giving a sh*t about anything. Well worth a read.
- I’ve dismissed several times the belief that rising early will boost your productivity. In fact I believe it’s one of those common self-help myths. Life Evolver makes a very good point about how society wrongly views sleeping in as being lazy, and provides five reasons why sleeping in will actually boost your productivity.

I like the idea of sleeping in boosting productivity. I mean, really, there are only so many hours in a day so you should work when you’re naturally most motivated and sharp!

Exactly. It’s about getting the right balance. Not everyone is at their best when getting up early so it makes sense to do whatever works best for you.
