Michael - Thank you for the compliment! And you're welcome for the advice. I hope it helps. Perhaps I'll plan to write more about productivity soon...

Another reason why this is one of my favorite blogs to read.

Thanks for the handy advice, Ryan. Inertia/procrastination is something I struggle with all too often lately. I'm working to change that.

I am a big fan of the handwritten list. I have tried the outlook task list, the pda, the three-ring planner, the calendar-on-the-wall, but nothing beats my yellow legal pad. . .

Tina - Great to have you as a new reader. Thanks for dropping by!

Ed - I like your "global list" idea. I'll give that a try.

Rhen - I actually have a copy of The Power of Full Engagement. Perhaps I should finish reading it. ;-)

Great tips, I especially like the first two.

Personally, taking time to rest has been huge for me.

There's a good book on this called The Power Of Full Engagement I've read recently, I recommend every workaholic to pick up this book as it goes in depth on the topic of becoming more productive through resting.

Hi Ryan,
I agree on hand writing your list. I do it too and it does seem to link the mind to the project much better. I also do a global list for the month. I write down everything I can think of that I want to do. It serves to remind one of the little easily forgotten things. At the end of the month I rewrite it for the next month and remove the things that really didn't need doing. I like taking control of that process rather than just forgetting the things no one reminded me of.

Thanks,
Ed Anderson
