Everything You Ever Wanted To Know About Productivity


Dave Olson deserves special mention. He submitted his productivity post over a week a go, but each time I summarized the latest list of great productivity tips, productivity tricks and productivity secrets I forgot to include his submission. It wasn’t intentional on my part, it just happened.

Please check out Dave Olson’s productivity post, 5 secrets to becoming a productivity guru.

Phew. It’s out there!

And there are more great posts for you to enjoy as well. Certainly nowhere near the 893 posts that Darren Rowse got from his latest group writing project. Crazy. Amazing. Kudos! Of course, he picked an easier topic…*chuckle*

Here are the latest submissions to the Ultimate Guide of Productivity group writing project meme. You can still participate. There’s no deadline. Maybe it’ll go on forever…

Just write a blog post with your best productivity tip(s). Let me know about it and then tag others with links to their blogs, so they participate as well.

  1. What productivity? by Paul Enderson
  2. The Tale of the Gnawing Scrimshanks by Zep Hopper
  3. The Ultimate Guide to Productivity by J David Macor
  4. Making The Most Of Your Productive Time by Winterbride
  5. Passion and Productivity by PixelHead Online
  6. Secrets to Being Productive by Dan
  7. The Key to Productivity: Immediate Deadlines and Mini-Goals by Renita T. Kalhorn
  8. Being Productive Online by Charity Ondriezek
  9. The Key To Being Productive by Robert Hruzek
  10. Productivity Hint? NO! by Annie Boccio
  11. 25 Ways to be Jazzed about Productivity by Liz Strauss
  12. Productivity Tips by Lillie Ammann
  13. Tips for increasing productivity by Sera Strawbridge

We now have a total of 86 submissions. Hopefully we’ll get another 14 to reach 100, and go beyond that as well.

What’s your best productivity tip?

If you enjoyed this post, please share it!

    Ben:
    I enjoyed meeting you!
    Thank you so much for your podcasting presentation at the SOBCon07…
    I raised my hand when you asked who had ever done one and so did lots of people in the room… but I am not comfortable doing podcasting yet and took lots of notes from your slides & talk. Very helpful. Your presentation is giving me the courage to try it again. Thanks so much for taking the time to prepare your presentation and for the getting up infront of the group to share your knowledge.

    Deaf Musician: fear is the biggest motivator. If you don’t do the job, you are fired.

    If I master my email time, then I am most productive. If not, then email checking messes up my productivity big time.
