Over the time I have been writing on Organize IT I have created and developed a number of useful tools, ranging from detailed ebooks to definitive lists of productivity fans on Twitter. For ease of use I have collated all these tools here in one place.
eBooks
I am proud to present my first ebook, Clutter 101: The Definitive Guide To De-Cluttering Your Home. It takes a realistic look at the issue of clutter, providing practical, actionable advice on how to gain control of it. What’s more, it’s free! For full information and details on how to download it, check out its dedicated page.
My second ebook is called Productivity Tips: 10 Clever Ideas For Getting Things Done. It is an expanded and updated collation of the first ten posts in my productivity tips series. It’s often these small tips and tweaks – which don’t really form part of a fancy system or methodology – that make the biggest difference in your life. For full information on this release please view its dedicated page.
Weekly planner
The weekly planner is my tool of choice for organizing my work and my time and getting focused. Now into its third version it has been radically streamlined to suit my needs and demands. Hopefully you’ll find it as useful as I have, or maybe it will give you the inspiration to design your own tools to fit your personal requirements. You can also get a Sunday-to-Saturday version here.
Habit tracker
This tool has been designed to help me focus on breaking bad habits and/or creating new, healthy habits. Based on Seinfeld’s productivity tip of creating a chain of regular activity, my habit tracker is a work on progress that is showing great results. If you try it please share your feedback!
Productivity, GTD and lifestyle design Twitter list
There are many productivity fans and bloggers on Twitter so it made sense to compile a list of them so that we can all connect with each other and share ideas. Be sure to leave a comment and have your profile added to the list!
Trigger list
If you are a fan of GTD you will no doubt be aware of the included trigger list which is used to brainstorm ideas and clear your head. However, the only problem with it is it’s too short. To remedy this I have created what I believe to be the biggest trigger list out there. Give it a try in your next weekly review.
Personal contract
When we sign a business contract we do so knowing we can’t break it (unless you want to face the consequences) so why not apply the same principle to yourself? Keeping personal promises is a big part of being productive so by filling in this personal contract you can gain extra motivation when you need to do something.
Moleskine resources
They are the notebook of choice for many creative people and because they are so popular an entire niche has grown around the humble Moleskine. Because I’m a fan myself, I’ve dedicated an entire post to collecting all the resources and hacks I can find. If you know of any other links please let me know!
