I figure there's a good number of you guys who are into GTD and/or who are active about productivity in general. Are any of you super proactive about heading off distractions before they occur? I wrote a blog post last week (How I Stay Organized and Implement GTD) and had a number of people...

Quick question for everyone. I have someone I'm helping to get more clients writing in the health/beauty space. Good, reliable writer with a science background; not the common ditz, unreliable female (no homo). Would telling her to get an account here and post a BST thread be worth a shit at...

There, you people can bitch about the forum changes here instead of doing it in every other thread.

Well since this forum's about dead as fuck, what did everyone get/give for Christmas? I got some pretty sweet headphones and a Kreg jig I wanted.

I'm looking for a simple project management tool for keeping a couple of local females on track with their work. They're both reliable etc, but I just want one place where I can organize everything. iPhone app with notifications is a plus, and so is a lack of a serious learning curve. All I...

Quick question for anyone writing content (whether you do it for your own sites or for other people): On a topic you aren't familiar with and need to do cursory research on, what would you estimate is your words per hour, or how long do you think it would take you to write 1,000 words? An...

Saw this shit on imgur earlier, and it's pretty cool. I'm surprised I'd never heard of it before, so I figured I would share: Clover Brings Chrome-Style Tabs to Windows Explorer. |

There's a productivity thread about every six weeks or so, and I figure we're due. Someone asked me what I use for organization/productivity or whatever after they saw some of my posts in a previous productivity thread, so I figured I'd just post a list here and link him to it. WinSplit...

I use a really chopped up and modified version of GTD, but one of the biggest things I've always had a problem with was having a decent way to record my ideas and things I need to remember without it turning into a pain in the ass. This pretty much solved my problem: I already have shit in...

One of the things that WF really changed in me was going from just being afraid of the police to actively hating them as a general rule. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7qhzdxYnwhg As the Public Defender's Office spokesperson explains, "[Tillotson] told the interrogating officer that she was...

I used to just use AHK scripts for this sort of thing, but I found a program today that is working out a lot easier. It's called WinSplit Revolution, and while the "official" site isn't around anymore, there's still a download available at WinSplit Revolution - Free download and software reviews...

The closest person I'll ever have to a daughter is fairly skilled both musically and in the realm of drawing shit. She's the most reliable teenage girl I have ever seen in my life, and she's been working very hard to get better at shit in both the music and drawing shit departments. (A lot of...

I learned about IFTTT somewhere on WickedFire that I can't find now, and it's ridiculously awesome. I haven't even really got to play with it that much yet, but goddamn. I'm using HootSuite to schedule posts on Twitter and then IFTTT posts them to everything else. I also have a pretty old phone...

Disclaimer: I am not a fan of Bill Cosby and do not think he is particularly funny. This whole situation with all of these women coming out at opportune times to accuse Cosby of the exact same thing they heard other women accuse him of is a bit irritating. If so many women were raped/sexually...
