"All the reading in the world won’t teach you as much as your first french kiss."
I've recently started studying up on the topic of productivity, because I had huge problems in the area last semester. I simply had more things to do than what was possible, and found myself in need of a system to "priorganize" my activity.
Obviously, I'm a fan of the book Getting Things Done. I'm about 80% of the way through it, and very excited to start implementing it's advice this semester. What I've found though is that, while the book is thorough and complete, there are all sorts of little tid-bits being passed around online that make one's commitment to productivity even easier.
In the same way that there are many Mac rumor sites, but if I only have time to check one I check TUAW.com, there are many sites on productivity, but there is one that is more perfect for me than any other: 43Folders.com.
The site's name is a reference to part of the GTD system. It's written by a guy named Merlin Mann and he employs video, podcasting, and writing to help you become a more productive person. He's quite clever, and one of his recent posts contained the above quote which reminds me of Good Will Hunting and is certainly one I'll pull out in conversation in the future.
