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 [...]

Ahem. Cough. Cough. Testing. 1. 2. 3. Well hello there gentle readers! My name is GTD Wannabe and I’m standing in today for Brett, who’s about to give birth. Well, my name’s not really GTD, and he’s not really going to be doing the heavy lifting but you know what I mean. I want to [...]

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 [...]

Just a quick update regarding WinStikker (a little Windows desktop application I wrote to quickly and easily create new Stikkits from your desktop). One of the biggest requests (read: complaints about it was the 500-character limit on the main input field. It was written this way because, per Stikkit’s documentation, the Stikkit engine will only [...]

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). [...]

How many times have you received an email with a subject line that said something like “Question” or “FYI”? Or, worse yet, had no subject at all? For all the millions of email messages that traverse the Internet every day, the ability to effectively formulate an indicative subject message seems to be fairly unimportant to [...]

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:

(Disclosure: I don’t work for Tivo or anything) Before you dismiss this notion out of hand, I invite you to examine this hypothetical situation… Tom and his wife Jane are seated in the living room. As per usual, Jane is in possession of the coveted remote control and happens upon yet another rerun of the [...]
