image David Allen's approach "Getting Things Done" (GTD) is very popular now, though is relatively young. Although in official definition of GTD it's author avoids using term "Time Management", we could consider GTD as one of the Time Management variations. Readers who are not new to Time Management, know that like Allen today, there were other famous names referred to Time Management in past, for example, Alan Lakein and Stephen Covey.

I made some research using Google Trends to determine how changes popularity of GTD with time and compared it with Time Management itself.More...

It is popular now to blog about empty mailbox or "Inbox Zero" approach. That idea is now hot and most people even do not realize that exists alternate ways to manage a huge amount of e-mail and keep sanity. I'll show you the one.

First of all I need to say that I get tons of e-mails every day. I have nearly two dozens of e-mail accounts organized mostly on different activities and each of them continuously brings e-mail. It is hard to say precisely, but I surely receive more than one thousand e-mails every day including e-mail lists that I am subscribed. I can handle this amount of e-mail relatively easily, but I do not try to make inbox empty - it simply would take all my time and even more.

I'll try to show you in 5 steps how to be more effective than that people who try to make their inbox empty.More...

Productivity vs. temperature It is summer now.  Outdoor temperature raises to unseen peaks and only air conditioner can help you to stay smooth. No doubt that temperature influences your productivity. But how? And what temperature is best for office productivity to setup your air conditioner? Let's find out.

In majority of cases existing standards for the temperature of the work environment allows wide temperature range from 65° F (18° C) to 88° F (31° C) depending on working conditions.

I hate writing on paper - especially making paper todolists. I do not like to stick that little yellow sheets of paper on my workplace because it is not as helps to remember to do something as distracts my attention. Also it so easy to lost that important task list with notes written on paper that sometimes it prevents do get into work at all. And frankly I love trees.

There is very simple way not to jam mind with tasks and do not use paper at all More...

LaunchyHow do you start your programs? Let I tell you: it depends of kind of program do you want to start. In most cases you press 'Start' button on screen or 'Windows' key on keyboard and open a start menu. Some users (such as me) have tons on software installed on PC and this menu is so overfilled that user has to spend some minutes to hunt through it to launch some program that used not very often to remember where it is hidden.

Another way is to open folder containing you files in Explorer and double click on some file to open program associated with it. If you want to open some address on the Web you have to open browser first. Of course you may create shortcuts on your programs, files or Web addresses on Desktop or Quick Start menu but you have to choose first which programs or documents you use more often to setup shortcuts for them. It is not as easy as it looks.More...
