Productivity, Motivation, and Personal Development Links – 5th June 2011

Well, I have been super busy and super productive so trying my best to share some of the great links I have been collecting over the past few weeks.

It seems like every week a new GTD or Productivity app is coming out either Web based, Client based or Mobile App based. Truly exciting times.

Here are my collection of links for this week.

My second link is to a great post titled 3 Goal-setting Tips That Don’t Work (And 3 That Do) This is a great post that looks at 3 common myths regarding goal setting.
My third link is to another great post from Lifehacker about How to Use Multiple Computers to Increase Your Productivity. I use multiple computers including my iPhone and iPad and they sure do fit into my workflow.
My fourth link is about using Evernote GTD and More to Get Organized. I love Evernote and it fits into my GTD system to help me keep all of my important information to hand.
My fifth and last link is to a short article from Business Week called Let Reality, Not Fear, Be Your Guide. This is from a business coach who looks at your expectations and how you should be setting them.
