It doesn’t take long for any GTD neophyte to realize that an essential tool in their productivity toolbox is a good labeler. While it may seem superfluous to the uninitiated, it’s one of those things that adds that extra bit of polish to your productivity system, as well as feeds the little fiend inside of you who loves a little productivity pr0n.

My new friends over at cableorganizer.com have an excellent selection of quality label printers to fit any need (and just about any budget). Sitting beside me on my desk is a lovely Dymo RhinoPRO 5000 label printer, courtesy of CableOrganizer. It’s one of those tools that screams durability – the kind I’d feel comfortable having on my belt looking at an unlabeled cluster of network or telephone cables. The unit arrived quickly and in perfect condition, ready for my strict evaluation – so you know the folks at CableOrganizer know how to get the job done.

Hey, everyone. I am not Brett, but I play him on TV. No that’s not it!!! I am Jason from Black Belt Productivity, and today I am pinch hitting for the new father. I want to congratulate Brett and family on the birth of their new daughter. I also want to thank him for the [...]

Disclaimer: Buckle up, this is a long one! When Jennifer of Lifemuncher tagged me with this little meme, I have to admit, I was a touch apprehensive. Not because I’ve fallen off of the GTD wagon or anything (which I sort of did a few weeks back), but because I have changed my GTD implementation [...]

In my eternal pursuit of the “mind like water”, I’ve noticed certain aspects of my productive life are, how shall I say, somewhat lacking. As much as I like to think I have a handle on my responsibilities and obligations, sometimes things fall through the cracks (and we all know what a no-no that is). [...]

My good friend GTD Wannabe over at her blog of the same name did one of these meme taggy thingamajigs. Against my better judgment, I’ve decided to participate. Looking back on the different habits that have made me the productivity guru I am today (lol), this was a fairly easy decision. Of all the little [...]

A blogger named Z.D. Smith recently posted an entry to his blog titled “GND” (which, I can only assume, means “Getting Nothing Done”) where he (eloquently, albeit with a healthy dose of bitterness) lambastes GTD/productivity bloggers, as well as GTD, itself. From the post:

After spending several months flirting with all manner of web applications, notebooks and the like, I think I’ve finally settled on my GTD implementation of choce. Backpack, a product by the venerable 37 Signals (makers of Basecamp), is simply fantastic. When considering my previous idea about the two types of web-based GTD systems, Backpack is [...]

I have a confession to make. I get way too enamored with new and fancy ways of getting my crap in order. Which means I’m regularly transitioning between GTD implementations (and this frustrates me to no end, I assure you). I’m not kidding – when a new GTD app shows up on my radar, I’m [...]

As I’ve been wandering down the merry path of the GTD/Productivity blogosphere, I’ve made a few friends along the way. One such person is a fellow named Glen who happens to run the uber-awesome LifeDev.net productivity blog (and I’m sure all of you are already subscribers). Glen and I have plans to collaborate on several [...]

I’ve had several requests come my way for some tips on how to implement GTD on the super cheap. After all, not everybody can afford a super-fancy PDA or even a spiffy Moleskine notebook – especially college students. So, after doing a little research, I’ve figured out a way to make your very own GTD [...]
