I’m just reading the most important book of my adult life.  The 4-Hour Workweek by Timothy Ferriss.  I recommend it more than any other book.  You must read it!
Yeh, it shows you how to get down to a 4 hour workweek, but don’t judge it by that and think that’s impossible.  It’s about how we [...]

It’s been a while, hasn’t it.  My Productivity shot to shreds!!
I am not worthy.  I am the most un-productive person in the world.  Maybe that’s a good criteria for hosting The Productivity Show.  I was away working on a project for 3 months.  Ah-Ha I thought, away from the kids and wife, in hotel rooms, [...]

I’ve ditched Outlook 2007and moved to Mozilla Thunderbird. Why? My Outlook 2007 is running like a dog; a three legged dog!
Now it might not be Outlook’s fault. My .pst is over 1GB, I have one or two add-ins.
However, would I recommend Outlook 2007 to an Outlook 2003 user? Nope! I [...]

How are your New Year’s Resolutions coming along? Late in December, and early January, we set these amazing goals. And what happens to them by June? Usually the opposite of what we set!!

I am happy to announce that Tony Goodson is taking over hosting duties on The Productivity Show! Des and I just haven’t had time (ironic, I know Alanis) to ‘get it done’ over the last six months, so I’m glad someone is taking it over. Tony has been listening to G’Day World and TPN since [...]

Miriam needs a Productivity Buddy to help her stay on track with her GTD weekly review. Des and I came up with the idea of the Productivity Buddy ™ system while recording our Productivity podcast last month. Basically you buddy up with someone and make sure you keep each other on track with your weekly [...]

Is Andy Delin the new Scoble? A Microsoft blogger with enough balls / management support to say what he thinks even when it may not be completely obsequious? Let’s hope so… especially after I post this up there!
His recent review of Outlook 2007 : "so far I haven’t found too many changes of significance… In [...]

Over the last couple of years I’ve been extremely rude to friends like Jeremy Wagstaff and Marc Orchant (to name only two) who have told me how they had partially abandoned technology in their search for productivity and had regressed back to using a pen and paper. Not just ANY paper mind you. The infamous [...]

According to a post on Microsoft Watch, Microsoft has announced a release date for the next version of their operating system – Windows Vista.

Microsoft is set to launch Windows Vista on January 30, 2007. No word on the final location (yet). We’re assuming – until we hear otherwise – that this also will be the [...]

Eric Mack has provided a nice review of the GyroQ capture tool currently in Beta from Gyronix.  (Listeners to The Personal Productivity Show may recall that we interviewed Nick Duffill of Gyronix in Episode 006.)
What does GyroQ do?  According to Eric, it has a couple of important functions.

First, GyroQ allows me to quickly capture ideas [...]
