The Flagging of Tasks

On Episode 40 of Generational, Eric Hess explained how he flags his tasks in OmniFocus: “….of all of my list of things that are next to do, these are the things that actually I want to focus on today. They are simply ways to highlight individual tasks.” Flagging can be done in a variety of […]

A Look Back at The 2013 World Domination Summit

Three weeks later, I’m ready to share my 2013 World Domination Summit experience. To be clear, I can’t possibly share that much of it — this is an event that everyone needs to experience to fully appreciate it. But I’ll do my best, as I’ve done for the past two years before this one. I’ve

The Productivityist Workbook: Now on Amazon!

Today I’m pleased to announce that The Productivityist Workbook is now available directly from Amazon. It’s priced a little bit less than the version sold here .

Making Better Days

Today is Canada Day. It is also the day that marks the midway point of the year (at least in terms of months).

It’s Time to Flip the RSS Switch

Over on Workflowing, my partner in podcasting crime Michael Schechter has written a great piece on how to prepare for the impending shuttering of Google Reader — a shuttering that is set for Monday July 1. As for keeping up with Productivityist via RSS feed, you can take this link and use it in whatever

Giving Away My Birthday

I’m going to stray a bit from my usual stuff to talk about my upcoming birthday. That may seem odd, but I’ve got a very good reason to do so. This year I’m celebrating my birthday differently. I don’t want presents or anything. I want clean water. Last year at the World Domination Summit, Scott
