Productivity Coach

Because with all the things going on and the GTD movement going strong becoming more efficient is the goal. Besides the moral dilemma that if you get your work done early all that awaits you is more work I am willing to share some of my tricks:

  • Get a Macbook Pro. Live is too short to work on bad computers and while you are waiting you are not productive.
  • Get at least two monitors -- bigger screens make you more productive
  • Use Sandy -- you know you need an assistant and make sure to read the e-mail digest of your day before it starts so you can prepare
  • Use twitter, twittd and ubiquity to talk to Sandy -- so she's only a click away
  • Use GTD to order e-mails into Follow-up, Hold, Archive
  • Use Gmail or AppleMail and tag mails with your projects
  • Get a smart phone
