9 GTD Tips to Improve SEM Time-Management & Productivity

Doing Too Much at Once
2009-06-21 15:30:00 I find myself sometimes doing way too much at once and never getting anything done. At work this seems like a boon and since I'm constantly getting tasked by other's to get things done on pretty crazy schedules I find it easy to switch gears from one task to work on another. But at home I see myself skipping around a lot with out schedules and getting very little done.I'll start to fold laundry, then remember I needed to take out the trash so I'll do that, then I'll rearange somethings that were cluttered and then realize I forgot to finish folding the laundry and go back to that, get bored and do something else, etc... It goes on like that a lot.Lately I keep feeling like I may have ADD (Atention Deficit Disorder) but I'm 32 so I'm not sure what can really be done at this stage in my life. I want to be a little more sane when it comes to getting things done instead of switching around all the time and not comleting a lot of tasks that should really have my full attention....

A Quick End to 2009's Productivity
2009-01-11 18:31:00 Well, for a few days there, I kept up a decent posting schedule. Alas it collapsed this past week as preparations for surgery got ramped up, work was nuts, and when I had free time I was exhausted. And had nothing to say.I had a procedure done in advance of the surgery this past Friday, which gave me a little preview of the joys of having someone mess about with your arteries, followed by me lying in a hospital bed for a while. It gave me an excuse to spend the weekend watching football, at least.Books:#2 -- "Tooth Imprints on a Corn Dog" by Mark LeynerHad never heard of Leyner before snatching this off the Ski Bum's shelf. My first impression was that he was trying too hard to be wacky and random; that collapsed pretty quickly, though, and his absurdist short pieces had me laughing out loud consistently. It'll be a while before I can handle him again, I think, but this was pretty good.#3 -- "Sick Puppy" by Carl HiaasenOne of my fondest memories of college journalism days is a len...

Why You Shouldn?t Worry about Getting Results

Procrastination is the Cornerstone of Productivity
2008-09-18 17:17:00 This morning I could not tell if Lily was too sick to go to school or too well to stay home from school. She ended up going.In other news I am getting a bit burned out on all this work, work, work. Adding 4-5 hours of work to my schedule 7 days a week is starting to get on my nerves.My bosses are very nice though. They are appreciative of how hard I work, they have amazing work ethic. I get my first pay check tomorrow maybe that will perk me up.Yesterday, the Kindergarten at Lily's school had a picnic to celebrate the letter p. We brought foods that begin with the letter p for our picnic. Parents were invited. One of my new friends whose daughter is in Lily's class and they also live around the corner, her husband has been deployed to Iraq and came home yesterday in time for the picnic. I cried. I cry just talking about it. The kids didn't know he would be there. What a moment. The dad is a critical care nurse. I always find it amazing how strong some people are at ...

Second Extreme Productivity Seminar
2008-08-01 07:07:00 Ever since we launched the Office 2.0 Conference, summer months have been pretty busy for my wife and I. But this year is particularly interesting. Intalio is growing very fast now (the team doubled over the past six months, and is expected to double again over the next six months), the first Monolab|Workspace was setup in a record time, and the 2008 edition of the Office 2.0 Conference is generating a level of interest never seen before.

Unions and Wage - Productivity Increases
2008-07-26 06:57:00 James Schipper's comments in the comments section suggest that productivity naturally leads to increased wages in capitalism due to the laws of capital and labor. I argue that productivity increases during conditions of labor surplus normal in most capitalist states probably come mostly due to the militant actions of Organized Labor.James does aver that the replacement of American workers with illegal alien labor did have an effect on the destruction of wages in the construction industry. I argue that there were two stages to the process.First they broke the unions, then they hired the illegals. Those were the two stages. The exact same thing occurred in many manufacturing plants, especially meat processing. Slaughterhouses, poultry-processing and seafood processing plants all used to be good union jobs with high wages as recently as the 1980's.First they took out the unions, then they brought in illegals or other immigrants to the work. Many other fields besides construction have...

Productivity Studies
2008-07-24 23:23:00 Every time a new research study around personal productivity and office culture appears, we dutifully post the ?proof? that information overload, email distractions, and multitasking are keeping you from getting work done?but are they? Sure, many of these findings seem very feasible, but it?s hard not to think they?re published only as a crutch for a larger commercial or media message?either ?the internet is destroying your life!? or ?you need to buy this product.? Over the few years this site?s been in existence, studies have shown that email kills concentration more than smoking pot does, that you?ve got 11 minutes before the next interruption, that dual monitors increase productivity, that no one understands the intended tone of your email, that email overload costs the American economy more than $700 billion a year, and that multitasking kills your ability to focus and get things done. Ok, fine. Most of these findings seem to be sensible (except for the pot versus email one, ...

Advanced mouse productivity
2008-06-06 03:40:00 One of my first posts here on Hack Your Day was about buying a new Technica, simple 3 button mouse, and how that’s all I need. Well it was, until I had enough of always needing to change batteries. More specifically I had enough of never having batteries at hand. I went out and bought myself a Microsoft Wireless Laser Mouse 8000. This mouse has 5 buttons, side scrolling and it has an awesome charging pad which is not the stand up thing most people have, but a simple pad you just put the mouse on. One of the best things about it hardware-wise is that it works with Bluetooth, meaning you won’t have to plug in a receiver if you have Bluetooth built in. What really made my day productive was the software Microsoft bundled with the product. You can customize all buttons, like make the left mouse button be a shift button, or the right mouse button become an enter button. What’s even better though is the applications specific configurations. When using notepad for example...

The productivity ninja unveiled!
2008-05-22 19:51:00 I was looking at some of my comments when I found a trackback to one of the funniest posts I’ve read recently, it makes fun of the term productivity Ninja, and I am linked to! This behavior can not be tolerated of course and the Ninja has bee dispatched to deal with this arch criminal, but until he gets there, take a look at the investigative report by The Growing Life. In light of the current situation as I have said, I have contacted said authority, who is on his way to deal swift, nay, productive pain to the author, who should enjoy the limelight. While he can! Muahhahaha. I just wanted to correct some of the so called “facts” or observations he makes. Here’s the lowdown on the productivity ninja, or at least as much as his second line of command knows. Bruce Lee is not the ninja Bruce Lee is obviously not, and could never be a productivity Ninja. Have you ever seen him walking around with a Moleskine?
