Productivity, Motivation, and Personal Development Links – 1st March 2009
The main event of this week was the arrival of my new shiny 17" MacBook Pro.
To mark this event I thought I would take a break from the usual and provide five great links that help you when you come to upgrade your Mac and o not want to use the migration assistant.
Apologies in advance to Windows and Linux users as this is obviously a Mac specific post.
My New MacBook Pro – How I Migrated
I have been quiet this week due to being very busy with work and also receiving my new 17" MacBook Pro on Wednesday evening.
I am just about done with the migration and though I would share some of my findings for anybody wlse who is moving from an old Mac to a new one.
I could have used the Migration Assistant and sucked my old laptop to my new one. I used this when I rebuilt my old laptop and upgraded the hard drive and it worked amazingly. As my old laptop was three years old, and had been used to test a lot of software I decided to opt for the manual approach.
Productivity, Motivation, and Personal Development Links – 22nd February 2009
Hope you all have had a great week. I passed my exam last Monday that I had been studying hard for over the past few weeks. I made some great Mind Maps that sure did help with the retention of information.
I must write more about my experiences with Mind Mapping as they help me with so many aspects of my life.
Here are my collection of links for this week.
Tracks – Ruby on Rails GTD Application Review
Tracks GTD is a Ruby on Rails web-based application that is meant to serve as a hub for users to organize their life and work within. The system is an open-source (hence, free) program from the Tracks team of developers and is an impressive platform which offers relatively immediate accessibility for anyone new to the application.
Tracks GTD looks great and is easy to get running as the installer even includes the WEBrick Webserver. The program runs smoothly on Windows and Mac operating systems alike.
There is a bit of clutter to get used to but nothing is so bad that it will get in the way of day-to-day use of the system. Everything looks very clean with functionality having obviously been placed as a priority of the design contributors working on Tracks GTD.
Cool Little Firefox Time Saving Tip
Just watched a nice little video from fellow productivity blogger, Jared Goralnick over at Technotheory.com.
I thought I would share it. Cannot believe I had not noticed this before and I am sure I will now use this all the time!
Got any other neat little Firefox tips? If so, let me know by leaving a comment below.
Productivity, Motivation, and Personal Development Links – 15th February 2009
This week say my RSS Subscriber count hit 3000 for the first time. It is a bit lower right now but that is normal for Feedburner on a weekend. Hopefully it will bounce back and always be above the 3000 mark.
Yet another Sunday hitting @home. I have been fitting taps today in the bath and seem to have pulled my back, great with a busy week ahead!
Here are my collection of links for this week.
Getting Things Done with Mind Maps
This is a nice little video from the Internet Business Mastery that covers Getting Things Done and how you can use Mind Mapping to Get Things Done.
The video shows the use of MindMeister. I also use Mind Manager from MindJet on my Mac and PC.
I love Mind Mapping, do you?

Nozbe iPhone Application – GTD On the iPhone
Just a quick post to let you all know that the Nozbe GTD Application is now available for free download from the iTunes Store.
Nozbe has been up to now a web based application without any desktop client. The launch of the iPhone App has made Nozbe mobile, and surely appeal to a much wider audience.
Now, I do not use Nozbe myself, and the main reason has been due to the lack of the iPhone client. So, maybe now I will take a proper look at Nozbe as I do like the idea of having a Web App front end to my GTD system and this is what is currently missing from my OmniFocus set up.
