It’s been a while since I did a links update so here it is. I come across interesting productivity and self-help sites on a regular basis so below are some of the site that stood out for me within the last two months:
Welcome to another post in my Clutter 101 series, and the second post focusing on dealing with individual rooms around the house. In this post I will focus on the bathroom. While most of the focus on this room typically revolves around keeping it clean and sparkling it is still important to look at all of your space issues, especially considering you will likely have towels, toilet rolls, toiletries, etc to find room for and keep organized.
To examine with an eye to criticism or correction.
Going over a subject again in study so as to fix it in the memory.
The weekly review in GTD is one of the key elements, and also one of the hardest to implement efficiently. While most aspects of GTD are open to individual interpretation, the review is the one element that David Allen is clear on. Despite your best intentions, stuff always slips through. The review is the one definitive period in your week to catch up on these leaks and process them.
The weekly review also allows you to re-focus your mind on your system and keep it fresh. People take it for granted that they can implement an organizational system and it will just work. Normally, however, it becomes stale, out of date and eventually falls apart. The weekly review gets you focused and keeps the important things at the forefront of your mind.
What should you do in a weekly review? On a basic level you must process any loose paper, receipts, reference materials, etc then review your calender. You should also review all your next-actions lists, project lists, waiting on lists and someday/maybe lists. The ultimate purpose is to clear your mind and bring your GTD system up to date.
Lots of Organize IT related information to start this recap off. Don’t forget you can now advertise on the site for a measly $5 a month. Go and check out this page for more details if you are interested.
I’ve finally added a search box! It’s on the sidebar so try it out.
I’ve made the RSS full post again. I changed it to only have summaries of posts just to see how successful it was but I think it’s better when it displays the entire post. If you havn’t already subscribed to it, please do. I’ve set myself a target to meet by the end of the month :)
In the next few weeks I am going to add a lot more Clutter 101 articles. In the meantime you really have to check out this site and the concept of a landing strip in your home. There are plenty of ideas there to check out.
This is a pretty definitive list of ways to improve your body language. After looking at this list and thinking back to my last interview, there is certainly room for me to improve :)
I’ve talked about how to use your free time in a previous post but this post on Lifehack.org by Leo of Zen Habits is a great accompaniment. I may have to revise my own article in the near future!
