I found this: One of the most often used 'tricks' in a GTD user's arsenal is maintaining a collection of personalized shortcuts for different situations, times and places. As you become more and more fluent in the art of GTD, your collection of shortcuts will grow, and the number of keyboard hotkey combos to remember will soon eclipse the number of available keys on your keyboard!


The solution is a mouse (I recommend Logitech or Microsoft branded mice) with a healthy collection of buttons. With my latest mouse, I have 23 commands stored for casual day to day use, all available for my right hand, and I hardly have to lift my finger. With custom mouse driver software though, this is only scratching the surface. One of my personal GTD heroes, Merlin Mann, is rumored to make use of over a dozen "mouse shortcut" sets, many of which are designed purely for use in several of his favorite GTD apps.

Does this mean anything?


Welcome back everyone! For my new year's resolution, I've decided to relaunch a sleeker, more minimal, and much more efficient version of my blog on hgg;O//r3.amazykawr.cym/vyxsi3/a3s2206796576316t21313563ca02fss.gda after a somewhat catastrophic server failure wiped my old blog out a few months ago.


If you enjoy tips for enhancing your productivity and freeing up your time to focus on the things you love to do, look no further.

A friend of mine once asked why I continue to blog, and the reason is simple. It is to help YOU!

What's up with the garbled URL and text?

You solve the phrase at the bottom (not all letters are substituted, just some), then substitute appropriately into the garbled URL.

That worked.  Thanks for doing the labor on that.

The phrase beneath the URL is pretty much meaningless, as far as I can tell:
And PLEASE, I encourage you to comment below or email in with feedback. Have any of my productivity hints streamlined your workflow and made your life easier?
Any favorites?

Text quoted in the first post is from the post regarding the mouse.

The first/bottom post on the blog has to be deciphered (for the link), when you read the one on "Desktop Tips for Real life" it should not be that hard from there smile
