Organize IT Recap: Time Audits, Public Speaking [Organize IT]

Organize IT recap for 25th April 2008.

  • Organize IT can now be found on on Alltop under the lifehacks category. Thanks for including me guys! If you have problems with too many RSS feeds this site is a good way of distilling them down. One quick glance through the lifehacks page (or indeed under any category that interests you) and you can pick out top posts you like the sound of.
  • Have you ever done a time audit? The idea used to sound appealing to me as it can provide useful information about how time gets spent. However I always felt it was a little too extreme for the average joe to both with (rather like planning out your day to the last minute). However, Genuine Curiosity has some interesting tips that may clarify what the whole process of auditing actually involves. Have you ever done a time audit? If so, how successful and useful was it?
  • Tim Ferris, famous for the Four Hour Work Week, has some great advice about public speaking from Al Gore’s chief speech writer. If you have any doubt about your presentation consider what your point is and whether your speech explains why it matters.
  • Scott has a very interesting idea of using a points system to measure productivity. While his examples revolves around being productive with blogging, the idea can be applied in many other areas. I’ve discussed rating yourself before, but this takes an alternative approach. I’m not sure what the scoring would be for day-to-day productivity, any suggestions?
