A few articles you might find useful:
- Aaron Wall, in his Why do a fade in a web page, makes some good points about branding. This is a term that has been popular in social media for a long while, and one that I have detested because it points out that I am a brand (as are you), even though I like to think of myself as a person. While I have disliked the term, because it seems to me to sell humans short, I am finally coming to understand its importance and what it means. If you haven’t tried thinking of yourself as a brand, doing so is a good exercise.
- GTD Times has an article entitled A day in the life of Fred. It’s a short testimonial from a guy who “gets GTD.” Emphasizes, among other things, the value of a good weekly review.
- Alex King talks about his difficulties in syncing contacts across multiple computers and a BlackBerry, and why he has decided to use MobileMe.
Via Twitter, Jason Fried of 37signals points out that he uses a tea that has theanine, because it helps him focus:
@kadavy Nope, it helps me focus. The theanine works with caffeine to help you focus: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Theanine
I’m certainly going to check this out, as focus seems to become more difficult as we are subjected to so much information.
