There is a new magazine on productivity, it is online only and you download it in PDF and print it or read it off the screen.

I bookmarked it few days ago but just got around to actually read it. No first issue should be without interview with David Allen of ‘Getting Things Done’ fame, so [...]
Getting productive
Being Productive Programmer makes your Windows fast
I’ve been reading ‘Productive Programmer’ from O’Reilly and in the book there are tools and tweaks that make developers productive. While most of those I know, it kind of reminded me to use some of them and to give them another shot.
One of those tools is Virtual Desktops for Vista. I used one from SysInternals, [...]
Command line launchers revisited
I wrote about my experience with Humanized Enso. It left me feeling that it must be a way to do these things efficiently. I came across Launchy, an open source command line launcher somewhat similar to Enso. I kind of like it a little better.

On the road to personal productivity
I came across really neat service called RescueTime which tracks everything you do on your computer and provides nicely formatted graphs and analytics that gives you insight into how you are using your time with idea that by using this insight we can better understand where our day has gone.

I wanted to try their Enso again and see if I could be more productive with it, as developer I use keyboard for extensive amounts of time, so if I could avoid using mouse at [...]
How Paulo Coelho writes his books

In words of Paulo Coelho:
“When I finally feel I’m ready to embark on a new book, I always go [...]
Organizing email
Having a ton of emails seems to be common these days. I was able to put a lid on emails and keep them under control. That doesn’t mean I don’t receieve spam, just I don’t get them as much. Still there is quite a number of emails I need to process every morning.
First thing that [...]

Curt Rosengren, a person behind ‘ The Occupational Adventure’ blog which I used to read quite often and enjoy his writing and inspiration, just launched similar blog under new name ‘ The M.A.P. Maker’.
I would like to congratulate and wish Curt all the best with his new blog and invite people to visit and appreciate [...]
