Productivity, Motivation, and Personal Development Links – 31st May 2009
Had another great but very busy week. I was in the Forest of Dean for two days this week and then took a long weekend to go camping with my family on the East coast of the UK.
We stayed in a traditional North American Tipi and had a great time. The weather was very kind to use, which is always a bonus in the UK!
Here are my collection of links for this week.
Productivity, Motivation, and Personal Development Links – 24th May 2009
Had a great day out today with my family. Sun was shining and it was great to spend some quality time with my wife and children.
I have had another productive week. All my project work was completed on time and my trip to Dover was a great success. Next week I am at the Forest of Dean which is an area I have never been to so I am looking forward to that.
Here are my collection of links for this week.
Zig Ziglar on Twitter
I have been a massive fan of Zig Ziglar since hearing one of his CDs by chance a good 10 years ago.
The Ziglar Corporation are a training and development company that have really embraced the Internet and Social Media. The company is now headed by Zig's Son, Tom Ziglar.
They have a great blog and do some really good Video Podcasts that are available from iTunes.
Getting Things Done with MindJet
Regular readers of this blog will know that I am a huge fan of Mind Mapping and the tool I use is the Mac version of MindManager from MindJet.
I do wish the Mac version had some of the cool functionality of the Windows version but still, the main aspect of being able to create awesome Mind Maps is there in the Mac version.
In my opinion, MindJet have really raised their game, especially since Michael Deutch (a regular reader of this blog) has joined the team and started writing for the blog.
Productivity, Motivation, and Personal Development Links – 17th May 2009
I have just driven 270 miles to Dover, the closest part of the UK to France. I am down here for a few days with work.
The journey was not that bad. Remembered to pack my iPod and my FM Transmitter so I listened to a couple of podcasts that really made the journey shorter. I started with the latest MacBreak Weekly with Leo Laporte. This one covered some of the rumors about the new iPhone 3.0 and maybe(hopefully) a new version of the iPhone.
I then listened to the Net@Night show also from Leo Laporte and also Amber McArthur. The show I listened to was titled Evernote and contained an interview with Phil Libin, the Evernote CEO. Great listening, enjoyed it.
Evernote for the Blackberry is Here
At long last, the awesome collection tool Evernote is available for the BlackBerry mobile platform.
I love Evernote and currently use it on the web, my Mac, and my iPhone. I used to be a Blackberry user and I know that a lot of Blackberry users have been waiting for this for quite a while.
This was announced on the Evernote Blog where you can find full release information.
Productivity, Motivation, and Personal Development Links – 10th May 2009
Apologies for not much activity from me last week. I had to teach at college two nights instead of the usual one as well as the prep work I needed to do for a college assignment I delivered on Thursday. Combine this with a hectic work week and an office move on Friday and you can kind of see the week I have had :)
Luckily, all my tasks got done, just did not have a great deal of time to write the blog.
Here are my collection of links for this week.
Productivity, Motivation, and Personal Development Links – 3rd May 2009
Had a great week at InfoSec in London with RandomStorm.
I left early Monday and arrived home Friday. Luckily I have had the time to relax and progress my tasks and projects.
Tomorrow is a Public Holiday in the UK and I am looking forward to a day at home clearing a lot of tasks from my @Home context.

Productivity, Motivation, and Personal Development Links – 26th April 2009
I have had a week of report writing yet again. One thing for sure is that my report writing is really improving as is my ability to focus and deliver the report in the given timescales.
I am spending the best part of next week down at Earls Court in London for the InfoSec show with my company RandomStorm. We have a booth so if you are at InfoSec or Internet World be sure to pop by and say hi!
