Productivity Power Links 09-29-08
- The mighty productivity power blogger numbered list! Slamming half a carafe of coffee to get alert and productive is kind of like pounding a six-pack to get social and funny—you’re going to miss your mark, in often painful ways. Research suggests that small, frequent doses of caffeine—like tea breaks, caffeinated mints, and even chocolate—do a better job of keeping your brain from feeling fatigued than jitter-inducing java.

- Is a mountain of filth standing between you and all of your lofty goals? For example, when the surfaces of my workspace are clutter free–yet I still have the tools at hand that I need–I power through things faster, have increased focus, and I feel better at the end of the day. That’s because productivity equals satisfaction. I like to work hard on my priorities. (via unclutterer)
- Productivity on a iPhone? What…Another iPhone application I use frequently is Jott. I’ve been a Jott user for awhile and they finally exited their beta period and have a number of tiered pricing options to choose from. And a well-featured free account, which works well with the iPhone app. I use Jott to quickly call in notes to myself (I loved when these would go to Backpack, but that seems to be not working anymore) and now the iPhone app makes it easy to do this and sync to all of the services I have associated with the account. It definitely helps me remember things when I’m traveling or just need a quick reminder. (via setting context)
- Yet another helpful web based collaboration app…A web-based collaboration / project management service. There’s a free version as well as multiple language versions. Scribd’s iPaper is integrated so you can view files in the browser. The company has been around since 1999 and offers phone customer service. (via ehub)
- Tim please tell us how to never forget anything ever again…This might sound a bit complicated to some, but I assure you all of these tools are simple, easy to use, powerful, fast, and fun to use. Those are my criteria. I use a setup the includes Evernote, Gmail, Gcal, Anxiety and Jott. These tools allow me to capture any information, at any time, and retrieve the information quickly and easily. (via four hour work week)
