How long is not long enough? [Ho-ohana Blog]
Earlier today a colleague called. She was frantic because I hadn’t responded to an email message she had sent. She read the text of the message to me and I didn’t recall receiving the message. We had a good conversation on the phone and got the questions she had resolved. [...]
7 Reasons To Ditch Your PDA And Switch To Pen And Paper [Organize IT]
On Monday when I discussed how you can simplify the actual practise of Getting Things Done, rather than focusing on a GTD lite approach that misses the point, one suggestion was to stop messing around looking for the latest clever program and hi tech solution. Instead pick up a pen and paper and get on [...]

Organize IT recap for 18th April 2008
On Wednesday I introduced the first stage of my Organize IT trigger list. Thanks to your feedback I have expanded it even further and I now believe it to be a huge, definitive list. I have also published it in PDF format for easy printing when you need it [...]

One significant update last month was my foray into social networking. You can now catch me on LinkedIn, Facebook and Twitter. If you are on [...]
Facebook And The Great Inbox Clearout [Organize IT]
Right, so I’ve gone and done it. I’ve sucked up (most of) my reservations and got myself a Facebook account (check out my profile and the Organize IT fan page). Those reservations have not exactly been proved unfounded because after only 24 hours of being signed up, I’ve wasted more time than I want to [...]
The Good Email Etiquette Guide [Organize IT]
Email. It’s great isn’t it? All those spammy messages to process, all the time spent on trying to get your inbox to that mythical empty status.
