I’ve noticed a pattern. A large amount of productivity literature, blogs, and “hacks”, in the end tell a single story: Have the confidence to jump right in to your work. Often, they notice that there are certain barriers (self-created, or not) that are blocking your confidence or clouding your judgment so [...]

I have become obsessed with my notecard for the day: a single 3×5 sheet that carries with it what i need to do today (a very small and realistic number), often a calendar of events (so I know when the free time is that I can do my tasks for the day), and [...]

Guess what my answer is to the title question. Guess, I dare you.
You got it:
@No.
Is it a sin in the GTD community to speak ill of contexts? Maybe. Will I ask for forgiveness? No. Below are my reasons.
First, a caveat: if you are a businesswoman or man that on any given day [...]

Note: In light of the popularity and timing of Merlin Mann’s recently posted MacWorld video, I should note that these tips were written with a technical presentation in mind, where data, figures, text and in general significant information on each slide is often necessary. In that vain, I’m also not sure how presentations [...]

Today, however, I want to [...]

I’m going to start a series of weekly posts that track my experiences with trying to wake up earlier on weekdays. A combination of realizing that I am more alert and energetic in the morning and this post on zenhabits made me want to try. I’ve been doing this for a couple of [...]
SMS to email my friends, SMS to email. Months back, I posted about trying Jott. It’s nice. It transcribes ridiculously well and it’s pretty convenient to be able to push a speed dial button and say “do this tomorrow because it’s so important” and have that show up in your inbox. But then I got [...]
GTD Simplicity is so vital to the whole process working.
I was listening to a podcast on davidco and David said two things that struck me about GTD systems:
(1) “these systems needs to work when you have the flu and don’t feel like it.”
Ain’t that the truth. I’ve finally stuck with a single list manager [...]
When I first started implementing GTD and recently as an experiment, I tried to do the weekly review impromptu, off the cuff if you will. This is generally not a good idea. You should make a weekly review list because it’s so goshdarn easy to make. I find the best place to put it is [...]
Grad Hacker is a blog dedicated to making you very, very productive. I’m talking really productive. No seriously, there here will be no end to your productivity. I’m a grad student and posts are often geared towards grad students, but most content can apply to anyone. I joke around a lot about our quests for “productivity”.
In addition to science research I do other things, one of which is play with this blog, another is English editing of academic papers with AJE.
Questions? Complaints? I can be reached here.
