Well, Sunday has come again and it is the time to bring together some great links over the past week. I started to write this post last week and I am saving the links to the post as I find them. Saves me from having to duplicate work when Sunday night comes.
Big thing for this week was the two excellent GTD Seminars from the Office 2.0 Conference. Be sure to check them both out as it is great free content.
Right, here are my links for this week.
- My first link for this week is a nice list of 99 email security tips that I found useful. I found this post via Ian’s Messy Desk.
- My second link is the 10 Best Firefox Plugins to Increase Productivity. Now, I just switched last week from Safari to Firefox and plugins like these are part of the reason behind my switch. More on that later.
- My third link is a review of iGTD from Flipping Heck. I like reading Flipping Heck as it is written by a fellow Brit and we do seem to be way outnumbered by our US colleagues and friends!. I used to use iGTD before I started with OmniFocus and this is a great review of the application that is well worth reading.
- My fourth link is good review of the Things GTD Application for the Mac by Digmo. Now, I have just installed Things and love the look and feel of it although it will take a lot for me to leave OmniFocus behind. I do have to write a comparison of both so I am going to force myself to play and learn Things to see both sides of the story.
- My fifth and last link for this week is another link to the Office 2.0 Keynote with David Allen and the Office 2.0 GTD Panel. Check them both out if you have not already done so!.
Got a few posts coming this week including a review of the 4-Hour Work Week, a book I have just finished and another update to my Email Experiment.
Hope you all have had a great weekend and see you all next week.
This is an awesome list of links, Andrew. Really been enjoying your email productivity experiment, as well.
But I’m kind of amazed you’re just getting around to Ferriss’ book now…I look forward to your review!
Cheers.

Thanks for the comment Jared. Yeh, the 4-hour work week passed me by a few times and it was not until somebody bought me it that I read it. I read tons of books and cannot believe I missed that one! Great book.
Thanks,
Great links and articles Andrew. You might want to include some of the Nozbe training video links for a future post. I have found them to be short, concise and a great tutorial for GTD. Earlier this year I switched from a Covey system I used and taught for decades to the Nozbe application that allows me to view my entire GTD at work on my Win machine, at home on my Macs and even on my cell phone. And another app lets me call in tasks to my GTD without any writing or typing, great for those thoughts that hit me while driving. I’ve written about my experiences with GTD in a blog post at http://johnkendrick.wordpress.com/2008/03/27/more-getting-things-done/ John
@John,
Thanks John. I have posted some of the Nozbe videos before but guess I could do some more posts with them on.
Don’t suppose the Covey system you used was Plan Plus? If so, I used and loved Plan Plus in my Windows days. Before I had found the GTD systems and before I switched to the mac.
Cheers,
Andrew..
Thank-you very much for the link. I’m glad you liked the iGTD review.
I’d be interested in your views on the iPhone and OmniFocus. A friend of mine has just purchased one and I’m not sold 100% yet but being able to carry my to-do list around with me would be a massive bonus.
@Katy,
No problem at all, keep up the great work. iPhone and OmniFocus rock and I must get around to writing my review of it. It is amazing to have your whole GTD system in your pocket. My main gripe is one of speed, in that it takes around 20 seconds to add a small task. It needs to be faster..
