Organize IT recap for 13th October 2007

• This upcoming Monday is Blog Action day where over 12,000 bloggers are expected to write about the environment and hopefully put this important topic on everyones mind. This should be a very exciting event with some of the biggest blogs taking part. Look out for my post on the issue on Monday (you can subscribe to stay up to date).
• In a recent post I mentioned how I had updated my extensive list of blogs and sites that cover GTD and productivity. This update brought the number from around 80 to over 100.

• Lifehack.org talks about the seven energy sinkholes and how to avoid them. This is not an early Blog Action day post, but instead covers personal energy and how you can get drained by being disorganized, trying too hard to please people, etc.
• Who would have thought Star Wars could teach us so much about handling our money. Wouldn’t it be cool to have Yoda as your financial adviser?

It’s been a while since I updated my list of GTD & productivity sites/blogs so today I will add some new sites for you to check out, update old URLs and move inactive sites so the list is up to date (this update brings the list to over 100 links).
