Some productivity tips from Lifehacker

SUNDAY, JUNE 28, 2009 AT 7:29PM

One of my favorite sites is LifeHacker.com, proponents of the GTD (Getting Things Done) philosophy of productivity have a great list of ten basic productivity skills that one should have.  Wish I could say that I follow all ten tips religiously, but not there yet. The ones marked in bold I've found most useful.

Here is the link:  http://lifehacker.com/5303204/top-10-productivity-basics-explained

Their top ten:

10. Doable to-do lists
9. Ninja-like search skillz
8. Remind your future self (a.k.a. tickler files)
7. Ubiquitous capture
6. Timers and working in dashes
5. Quick searches (web)
4. Quick searches (local)
3. Inbox Zero
2. Keyboard shortcuts
1. Text expansion

Encourage you to check out the entire list at Lifehacker.com

While I am on the subject of Getting Things Done (GTD) I thought I'd post the link to a great article on how to use a "lite" version of GTD.  If you've never heard of David Allen, or GTD then check out this link.  I've always struggled with being adequately productive, since at the end of the day it comes to do "just doing it"
