Positive Thinking – Morcambe and Wise Style
Found this on YouTube whilst looking for productivity related videos and I though that since it was Friday I would share it.
Morcambe and Wise were a great eighties comedy duo in the UK. Their Christmas Specials were legendary but I am guessing my US readers will have never heard of them?
Well, it is Friday afterall...
Did I Get Things Done 2.0
If you are not already, now is a great time to subscribe to this blog in your favorite RSS reader so you can keep up to date with all the posts.
After a few tweaks here and there the new theme is a go and I am happy to say that I now consider the new site as fully live. I still have to add a few plugins and add some content to some more pages but I guess this aspect of the site will be work in progress.
I have never had a Contact or Advertise page on the site before.
Seven Decisions for Success Mind Map
Whilst going through some old posts from this blog, I pulled out a review of a great book that I read, and reviewed pretty much within the first month of launching this blog.
The book was the Travelers Gift, Seven Decisions that Determine Personal Success, by Andy Andrews. As the blog has just launched, I think I had around 5 subscribers and I knew all of them!
The book talks about the Seven Decisions for Success. These are based around a story that the author takes you on. This is a motivational and self development book that is based on a fictional story, very similar to the great Og Mandino books.
Evernote for iPhone 1.4 brings Local Storage
Evernote have just released version 1.4 of their fantastic note taking application for the iPhone.
The biggest feature for me is the ability to mark a note as a favorite and then view it when offline. This means that you can now use the power of the desktop client to utilize the file storage capability of the Evernote iPhone application.
I tend to add a lot of documents to Evernote from the Mac client, so the ability to mark these as favourites and always have them on my iPhone is a feature within Evernote that I have been waiting for.
Getting Things Done System by James Marwood
This is a great little video from James Marwood about how he implements the Getting Things Done methodology for productivity.
This is a very in-depth 11 minute video where James goes into his full paper and electronic based system.
Great to see OmniFocus and also a MoleSkine. James has implemented pretty much the full GTD system including the tickler file.
The “How I Use Evernote” Video Project
The guys at Evernote have started a YouTube project to get people to share how they use Evernote.
Evernote really is a cool application for Windows, Mac, iPhone as well as the Web based Application.
There are already some good replies, both video and text, check it out..
Productivity, Motivation, and Personal Development Links – 26th October 2008
Well, my new theme is up on the site but not yet live as I still have to tinker with bits here and there to improve the way it works and looks. I have been a bit under the weather this weekend, picked up some viral bug from my kids which has left me a bit ill.
Hopefully I will be able to get the site live tomorrow with all the new gizmos and gadgets. I have some great ideas for new WordPress Plugins after seeing some great presentations at the A4U Expo.
Here are my collection of links for this week.
Update and Version 2.0 of Did I Get Things Done
I have mentioned in a few posts that I have been working on a new theme for this site and also looking to update the content to broaden the sites horizons.
Well, I am glad to say that the new design is imminent and hopefully will be on the site in the next couple of days.
I have used Unique Blog Designs to carve me a custom theme to facilitate my new launch.
Top 5 iPhone Applications for Productivity
I cannot believe that I have never done a Top 5 list on this blog. In fact I have never done a blog entry based around a list before so here goes.
What better place to start than with a list for my Top 5 Productivity Tools on the iPhone.
I love my Apple iPhone. it has to be the single gadget that has most affected my productivity. Being an advocate of the Getting Things Done methodology, I love to talk about ubiquitous capture, and the iPhone is my capture device of choice.
ProBlogger – Blog Your Way to a Six Figure Income Book Review
I came across the ProBlogger site when I first got into blogging a couple of years ago. I used to read the ProBlogger blog and picked up some great tips from it in the early days. The ProBlogger blog is written by Darren Rowse.
The Problogger book caught my attention when it first came out although I never got around to buying it. I then met Chris Garrett at a Northern UK Bloggers Meetup and thought it was only right at this point to buy the book and see what I could learn.
One Amazon order later and the book arrived.
