Organize IT -- Someday in the future I want to get out of my apartment and get a house complete with a garden. Ill be able to play my music as loud as I want and have somewhere to kick a football around. Someday, maybe in a few years time, I want to learn a new language and write a book. Someday. Maybe If this sounds like the sort of thing you say, a quick trip to the productivity doctor would probably reveal th...     11-23

Think You’re Lucky? Think Again

Organize IT -- View original image I try to avoid thinking about luck, and just generally try not to use the word nowadays. To me, it applies some sort of deity granting fortune and fame to one person and misfortune and ill health to another based on some mystical roll of the dice. In other words, it removes all personal responsibility. If something bad happens to you, well, youre were just unluckynothing to lea...     11-16

Organize IT Recap: Scary Research On Multitasking, Inbox Zero Is Overrated And The Getting Things Done President

Organize IT -- Inbox Zero. On Twitter I see this term used all the time. For some reason, a lot of people seem to think it equates to the same thing as GTD. Sure, having an empty inbox is important if you want to stay on top of things, but its only one of many components in our life. Its with this in mind, that I particularly enjoyed reading this post over at Productive Flourishing covering several criticisms of...     11-12

Productivity Tips #15: Focus On That Which Matters Most

Organize IT -- I think Ive realized why its so easy to succumb to the whole getting things done, do stuff for the sake of it attitude. We all want to achieve Big Things in life. We want to feel like its all worth it and that at the end of the day weve achieved something with our time. But what happens if you dont have that in your life? Rather than looking for that sense of achievement through quality, we try an...     11-05

Rethinking How To Fix Bad Habits

Organize IT -- Getting things done, being productive, identifying your big goals and doing something about them regularly its all easy and simple compared to habits. We spend all of our time lamenting how we cant stop snacking on chocolate, we cant stop smoking or we cant stop idly browsing pointless websites and pissing our time away. Unlike a simple little activity or project, you cant put a habit on your to-d...     11-02

Simplifying Your Life: It’s Time For A Reality Check

Organize IT -- Simplifying your life is very popular idea nowadays. Its been popularized, I think, by people like Tim Ferriss of The 4-Hour Work Week who pushes ideas like the 80/20 rule and the low-information diet, and Leo Babauta of Zen Habits in particular. Simplifying your life is good. No, its actually great and I believe everybody should have a go at it just to filter out some of the crap in their lives. ...     10-26

Ask The Readers: How Did You Learn GTD?

Organize IT -- A simple question today that I hope will get some varied responses. How did you learn GTD (or if you use something else, how did you learn that)? The obvious answer will probably be that you just read the book, but that wasnt the case for me and I suspect it isnt the case for many of you guys too. I originally came across GTD via several blogs like Lifehack.org and picked up tips from those for a ...     10-22

Modern Life Sucks: 4 Ways The Status Quo Is Wrong

Organize IT -- The more books I read (Brain Rules, Predictably Irrational and Freakonomics to name a few recent ones) and the more I write on this blog, the more I come across ideas and concepts that go against the conventional advice dished out by businesses, schools and the media in general. This is in some ways alarming. Millions of people are born, grow up and lives their lives based on traditional ideas tha...     10-19

Blog Action Day: The Environmentally Friendly Lifestyle

Organize IT -- View original image Today is the third annual Blog Action Day, a great event where thousands of bloggers (just under 7000 at the time of typing this) all write about one particular topic of concern.

We’re All Time Wasters, But Whose Fault Is That?

Organize IT -- As you can probably expect giving what I write about here at Organize IT, time is a big issue for me. I have hobbies and interests and goals I want to achieve and they all take up precious hours. This is actually a good thing because Id much rather spend those hours in pursuits I enjoy rather than in mundane work. The challenge I have then is how to free up more time for the former and do less of ...     10-12

Why “Just Do It” Is Still The Best Productivity Advice

Organize IT -- Just do it. Stop procrastinating and get on with it. It really should be that simple and years ago it probably was. We should all have the doing habitthat drive inside to see our daily chores completed despite whats on TV or our to-do list ticked off despite colleagues pestering us. But nowadays we have so many distractions, so many things fighting for our attention and so much stuff thats so comp...     10-08

GTD And The Work/Life Blur Dilemma

Organize IT -- This guest post was written by Rich of Half-A-Dozen Monkeys. The main focus of David Allen’s Getting Things Done methodology is… well, to get things done. It aims to give you a tool to enable you to identify everything you need to do and then go and get those things done. This is fine. No, this is superb. But it does create one particular problem – it consciously blurs the boundaries between all a...     09-28

5 Reasons Why GTD And Creativity Can Mix Together, Damnit!

Organize IT -- On Monday I talked about the misconception of creativitythat its about thinking big, opening your mind, etc. This got me thinking about what I believe to be another big misconception. Many people claim that GTD and creativity dont work together, and to be frank its kind of frustrating.
