50+ Personal Productivity Blogs You’ve Never Heard of
The personal productivity niche on the Web has grown by leaps and bounds since Lifehack launched only a few years ago. While a few sites dominate the rankings, there are lots and lots of lesser-known sites that are as good or even better than the “A-list” productivity blogs. Most of them are solo operations — the GTD newbie documenting his or her quest for greater control over their life, the coach or consultant sharing his or her knowledge with the world, the writer adding to his or her published work with notes, errata, and new findings. Their voice is personal, intimate even — and deserves to be heard. Of course, the big names are here too — after all, I owe some of them a tremendous debt for helping me get a grip on my own life.

Ingénieries de la sérendipité | Owni.fr
avec l'arrivée du web contributif, la sérendipité est aujourd'hui partout réellement présente et systématiquement agissante. Mais cette capacité à trouver de nouveaux amis en ligne, ces liens passionnants qui semblent surgir aléatoirement au détour d'un raccourcisseur d'URL sur Twitter sont-ils réellement de la sérendipité en action ? Voici quelques-unes des questions auxquelles ce billet va tenter d'apporter des réponses [...] La sérendipité désigne la capacité à trouver des informations qui n'étaient pas celles que l'on recherchait initialement mais qui vont cependant s'avérer utile pour résoudre le problème ou la question à l'origine de notre recherche, ou d'une recherche/d'un problème antérieur ..."

The Pomodoro Technique isn’t like any other time-management method on the market today. For many people, time is an enemy.

Whether it’s a call, a Facebook message, or suddenly realizing you need to change the oil in your car, many distracting thoughts and events come up when you’re at work. Most of us are intimately acquainted with the guilt that comes from procrastinating. Who does the technique work for? These are all ways real folks use the Pomodoro Technique: Motivate yourself to write.Limit distractions.Keep track of how long you’re spending brainstorming / writing / revising.Reduce back and neck pain by walking around during Pomodoro breaks.Draft a book in three weeks.

GTD Do-It-Yourself Planner v1.0
In need of a last-minute gift? Need something to do between turkey dinners? Or how about a massive attempt at self-organisation for the New Year? Just in time for the holidays, I’m pleased to announce version 1.0 of my Do-It-Yourself Planner system. Almost every template has been revised somewhat from the beta versions, a new graphical look and feel is taking shape, there’s a new “To Buy” form, the instructions are now fleshed out, and there’s plenty of room for customising the package to your individual tastes and circumstances. Version 1.0 of the DIY Planner package includes a dozen pages of information (in HTML) on how to buy a 5.5″x8.5″ planner, save a bundle on templates/forms, find accessories, set up your organiser GTD-style, and more. Be sure to read the instructions, as they give plenty of information on how to print, cut, punch and use the templates. Hope this is a nice little holiday DIY project for some of you organisational junkies.
