What Best Defines Canada? [Ian's Messy Desk]
Today is Canada Day. This marks the joining of the British colonies of Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, and the Province of Canada into a federation of four provinces (the Province of Canada being divided, in the process, into Ontario and Quebec) on July 1, 1867.
So, what does it mean to be a Canadian? At least, [...]
Fun in the sun productivity [Hack Your Day]
Since I work from home, I have plently of time in the Summer to go here and there. I spend about 3 weeks each Summer at Lake Balaton here in Hungary which is a nice sunny place to be, but for me this is not a vacation, it is just a different, more sunny and [...]

Was tun bei Langeweile? [ToolBlog]
“Ich kann über Langeweile nicht klagen”, hört man so oft aus dem Mund viel beschäftigter Fach- und Führungskräfte. Und doch tun sich gerade Menschen, die unter der Woche unter Dampf stehen, mitunter schwer damit, ihre freie Zeit zu gestalten. Entweder die Freizeit wird so voll gepackt, dass sie sich in der Termindichte kaum von der [...]
What have you done to Gmail, Google?? [:: Flipping Heck! Productivity, Project Management & Motivation Blog ::]
<start rant>
I’ve written before that I’m having issues with using Gmail over IMAP with Entourage and judging from the comments I’m not the only one (can’t link to the commentor as they didn’t leave a URL!) and now I’m having issues with the regular GMail web interface as well.
Originally I thought it was because of [...]
Lessons in Productivity from Ralph Waldo Emerson [Zen Habits]
Editor’s note: This is a guest post from Brett McKay, editor of The Art of Manliness

A resource for the travel-weary [Genuine Curiosity]
I can’t believe I never knew about it, but I just found out about a wonderful resource for frustrated air travelers. This is particularly handy for those of us in the northern hemisphere, since we’re getting into the height of over-booked, under-experienced travel: summer vacations.
The resource I learned about is the “Coalition for [...]

The Art And Science Of The Next Action [Organize IT]
Regular readers of this blog will know how effective I believe next actions are. It’s a concept I first came across in GTD and while at it’s core it essentially involves breaking your work down (hardly a new idea) it goes further in that it helps you to be clear on what exactly you are [...]
Short Cuts! [ToolBlog]
Na gut, ich hätte als Überschrift auch “Tastaturkürzel” schreiben können. Aber sie werden zugeben, dass der englische Fachausdruck nach mehr Pfeffer klingt. Wie auch immer, es schadet nicht, ab und zu auf die Maus zu verzichten und stattdessen die Befehle direkt in die Tasten zu hauen. Es geht einfach schneller. Nun müssen Sie nur noch [...]
