Thanks for clicking the URL in my Twitter profile. I’m James Mallinson, the mastermind (don’t laugh!) behind this blog. Welcome to Organize IT.
What do I do?
Here at Organize IT I cover a broad range of topics that fall under personal productivity and lifestyle design. My goal is to provide a logical, modern take on self-growth and development.
I don’t believe in working hard and playing hard. Working 40+ hours in a stressful environment, overwhelmed by all the work you have to do, and then wasting what little free time you have on short term hits like alcohol or merely sitting on the sofa watching TV, is no way to live. My philosophy is to work smart and play smart.
Getting started
Here are a few of my favorite posts to get you started with the site:
- 7 Reasons To Ditch Your PDA And Switch To Pen And Paper
- 8 Reasons Why You Should Start A Blog Today
- Getting Things Done… Faster
- Inner Trust And Why You Shouldn’t Lie On Your To-Do List
- 4 Good Habits To Save Yourself (And Others) From Inbox Hell
- Control Social Media, Don’t Let It Control You
I have also created several ebooks, tools and templates for getting things done, including my famous Clutter 101 book, trigger list and weekly planner.
