I’ve made no secret of my love for OmniFocus and it’s integration in my workflow. As a result, I often have people ask me more about how to use OmniFocus, or even about how I use it specifically. I’m not surprised. OmniFocus does have a learning curve, and it is not intuitive for a first-time user…especially for anyone who isn’t familiar with David Allen’s Getting Things Done. I’ve thought about doing a bigger overview of ...

Inspirational quotes for 22nd August 2008. Richard Koch: “Few people take objectives really seriously. They put average effort into too many things, rather than superior thought and effort into a few important things. People who achieve the most are selective as well as determined.” Wilt Chamberlain: “They say that nobody is perfect. Then they tell you that practice makes perfect. I wish they’d make up their minds.” Davd Allen: “A complete and accurately defined list ...

You wouldn’t like me when I’m angry. I once asked Po Bronson how he beats writer’s block. His answer was “write about what makes you angry.” It works like a charm. If I had writer’s block, this quote from a recent Entrepreneur magazine blog post would surely make the words flow like water. What follows is an example of guru fatigue and an overview of some misconceptions and principles of Bit Literacy vs. Getting Things ...

“Is it even possible to implement GTD across the Company?” That was the question that was plaguing me and Ali. Even if we get tools for everyone and teach them all the basics, it’s still very likely that most employees will stick to their old ways. Change is hard from within an organization. In spite of our efforts it is possible and maybe even likely that our people won’t crank widgets as we expect them ...

Although some hardcore Twitter fans might oppose, I think it’s fair to say Twitter is bad for productivity. The last ten minutes, I received eight “new Tweets” alerts. That’s 48 every hour, meaning I have 384 distraction moments during an ordinary 8-hour work day. And I only follow 151 people. How will I be able to focus on my blogging with the distraction monster called Twitter roaring in the background? So after reading David Allen’s ...

Productivity guru and Getting Things Done author David Allen discusses what he calls the curse of the eternally urgent, the cycle in which we feel like we're constantly putting out fires.Ignoring secondarily important actions and projects because you are too busy and concerned with urgent things fosters continual crisis management. It never self-corrects; it self-perpetuates. Where do fires and crises come from? Usually from not-so-urgent things that people ignore because they are distracted by the ...

Getting specific without going too in-depth, he explains the "two minute rule," why action-able emails should be kept separate from others, and why you should created your own system—such as Gina's modified "Trusted Trio". Great reading for GTD neophytes, and ...
