25 To Do Lists to Stay Productive I come across many services a day while researching for Solution Watch, and as many of you know, I take a lot of notes to organize my thoughts about them. Until recently, the only method that I used to keep organized with the services I wanted to write about was by reviewing my notes and email, then selecting one from the list. Now, I’ve learned to review all my notes at the end of the day and add each service that I would like to review to an organized to do list. The problem I was having was that I would write all these notes, but I wouldn’t always get to writing about the services I wanted because sometimes I simply forgot (A Not-To-Do List) or the service got carried to the bottom of my notes archive. There are a few things I look for when working with an online to do list. Top 5 To Do Lists: (No Specific Order) Orchestrate uses a unique method to help you ogranize your to do lists. Ta-da List, a 37signals product, has always been at the top of my list. More Online To Do Lists:
Simple GTD : Organize your stuff online Getting started with "Getting Things Done" This article was originally posted during the first week of 43 Folders' existence, and, pound for pound, it remains our most popular page on the site. Please be sure to also visit related pages, browse our GTD topic area, plus, of course you can search on GTD across our family of sites. I’ll be talking a lot here in coming weeks about Getting Things Done, a book by David Allen whose apt subtitle is “The Art of Stress-Free Productivity.” You’ve probably heard about it around the Global Interweb or have been buttonholed by somebody in your office who swears by GTD. (It probably takes a backseat only to the Atkins Diet in terms of the number of enthusiastic evangelists: sorry about that.) Like I did the other day with Quicksilver, I wanted to provide a gentle, geek-centric introduction to Getting Things Done, so that you can think about whether it might be right for you. The Problem with “stuff” Stuff is bouncing around in our heads and causing untold stress and anxiety. GTD is geek-friendly

Mind Sweep Throughout the month of December, The Simple Dollar is posting a daily series focusing on specific activities you can do right now to set the stage for a great 2011. Out with the old, in with the new. 10. Do a mind sweep. Hot on the heels of the ongoing discussion of Making It All Work, I’m going to suggest a good old fashioned “mind sweep” as a brilliant way to get your financial and personal house in order to finish out the year. What’s a “Mind Sweep”? Why is it such a big distraction? For starters, think about how your mind works when you’re focused on a task. More importantly, doing this makes you into a more reliable person. One of my own examples of a “forgotten” thing, for example, tends to be bills, mostly because many of them are billed electronically and some of them don’t let me know that they’re due. Doing a Mind Sweep So, how do you actually go about this? I suggest having a good chunk of time set aside before even starting. Get it all out of your head and onto paper.

Getting Things Done (GTD) for Scientists - MacResearch When I was in Australia on holiday last year, I started thinking about ways of getting the enormous influx of information and tasks in my life into some sort of structure. I had read on blogs from the US about the ‘Getting Things Done’ (GTD) approach of Dave Allen, but hadn’t come across it much in my daily life living in Europe. Even in Australia, which could almost be considered a state of America these days, I got blank looks when asking at Borders for the book on ‘Getting Things Done’. I did eventually find a copy, and started reading. Now, it’s important to realize that people outside the US are often skeptical of the latest new wave fad coming from that country, and I’m no different. That was around 6 months ago. The thing to realize is that most people don’t get lessons in organizing themselves at school or college, and they certainly haven’t been prepared for the rapid pace of modern life. To implement the GTD system, you’ll need some software.
50 Best WordPress Plugins for Power Blogging Résolution, pixels, points, dpi : un casse-tête insoluble? Ce billet fait suite à une question que je me posais sur la résolution dpi des écrans (notamment la valeur erronée détectée par défaut sous Gnome), qui m’avait amené à effectuer un rapport de bug, tout en pointant du doigt certains problèmes qui surviendraient si Gnome détectait correctement le dpi. Ce bug est maintenant corrigé dans la nougelle version de Gnome, celle embarquée dans la future Ubuntu 9.04 Jaunty Jackalope. C’est l’occasion de faire le point. Définitions Afin de comprendre les problèmes, il est important de définir chacun des concepts (je limite ici leur définition au cas d’une image numérique affichée sur un écran). pixel Le pixel, abrégé px, est une unité de surface permettant de définir la base d’une image numérique. point résolution La résolution permet de donner une taille réelle à un pixel. définition La définition d’une image ou d’un écran est le nombre de pixels qui composent l’image ou que peut afficher un écran.

Get Everything Done - Blog - My Top Seven New Year's Resolutions Are you tired of making the same old New Year's resolutions year after year? Well, here's a selection of some new ones you may not have thought of before, and some old ones too: 1. Don't make any resolutions which you have made and failed to keep in previous years. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. Float basics What is a float? When you float an element it becomes a block box. This box can then be shifted to the left or right on the current line. The markup options are "float: left", "float: right" or "float: none". A floated box is laid out according to the normal flow, then taken out of the flow and shifted to the left or right as far as possible. You can also put several floats beside each other. Where will a floated element move to? Floated boxes will move to the left or right until their outer edge touches the containing block edge or the outer edge of another float. If there isn't enough horizontal room on the current line for the floated box, it will move downward, line by line, until a line has room for it. Example: "float: left" element shifted down Do floated items need a width? You should always set a width on floated items (except if applied directly to an image - which has implicit width). "A floated box must have an explicit width..." Example: "float: left" with no width set
