iGoogle FTW!

(That’s “For The Win”, by the way) I started using iGoogle almost the second (okay, so it was a day or two) it came out, and I instantly fell in love with it.  Every computer I own and/or use on a regular basis has iGoogle as the start page.  There is SO much stuff that you can do with it, that a person could never (okay, most-likely-never) get bored with it.  Add to that the growing list of GTD, personal organization and productivity apps coming out almost daily, and it just keeps getting better.

Blogging GTD

It’s been said (yet, I’ve found no actual research) that a lot of traffic to blog sites is by other bloggers.  While it’s true that if you take an group of niche sites, you’ll find a certain amount of “recycled content” throughout the blogs, there is a lot of original content out there that keeps me from thinking that statement is TOTALLY true.  Now, from the “practice what you preach department”, we finally have some advice/suggestions FOR bloggers, and how to use a GTD-esque system to make your on-line life a little easier.  I started doing some of these things weeks ago with some of my other blogs, and can tell you that in my case, it has helped somewhat.

Keeping It All Together

Everyone is busy these days. Be it work, school, family or any combination of the three, we all have strains on our time and attention.  It can be somewhat daunting to try and keep it all together and not let the small things fall through, but it is possible.  With a little organization and some discipline, it can actually be done pretty easily.
