My productivity tips

GTD (Getting Things Done) by David Allen is by far one of my favourite books. I don't actually own this book, I have the audiobooks version and I listen to it when I have the time to. That's why I actually enjoy my commuting, since I get to have to the time to concentrate on listening to these kinda things. Anyway, to tell you a bit about GTD, since, it's a set of principles and collection of best practices for productivity. Some like that described in the following articles:

From my experience, to make GTD more a part of my life, I
take notes ubiquitously with whatever pads or notebooks or paper I have
periodically organise my to-do lists and process my notes with Google Docs and Spreadsheet
put entries on Google Cal so that I can be reminded about time critical events by a text to my mobile phone.

I feel that I have become more productivity from reading GTD. I have also learn to organise my notes and references materials better, I have now gradually developed a habit to tag and date my printouts and paperworks. I have also developed more discipline in using my A-Z filing folder. I hope that my productivity habits learnt from GTD will continue.

Give GTD a try!
