Organize IT

Last week I came across a great post by Glen of the PluginID blog discussing five ideas that he has implemented to get more done, and it gave me the idea to share some of my own. As Glen said on his site about his own methods, the ones I’ve detailed below have not only helped me to be more productive, they’ve allowed me to enjoy what I do more. I’ve like to read your thoughts on these. Why not share your own ideas in the comments?

Organize IT recap for 12th June 2009.

Productivity. I still cling to that word here at Organize IT even though the whole getting things done fad has long since died down. But time and time again nowadays I read about negative posts on the subject (productivity is dead!). And each time, there seems to be an opposing idea of exactly what it means. Today I want to explain just what this whole productivity thing means to me. Why not share your own thoughts in the comments?

The whole idea of work/life balance has been a big issue for quite a few years now. As we become more embroiled in work and businesses demand more and more from us, it increasingly encroaches on our personal time. It’s no wonder the popularity of personal productivity and time management has soared. But how do you actually create this work/life balance?

I recently came across this quite inspiring video by Honda as part of their Dream The Impossible series. It covers their various failures over the years and how they used the lessons learned to ultimately become a better company and produce better vehicles and engines. Considering this week has been all about not fearing mistakes, I thought it was rather appropriate. What do you think?
