There's a potential conflict between Getting Things Done and Just Do It. Here are some thoughts on the topic.
Craig Roth has posted his view on how the (Enterprise) Attention Management lens can look at the technical side of email to help with the information overload issue.
With apologies to my dear friend Luis Suarez and his goal of eliminating email, there are just times when email does the job fairly well.
Mark Foster has an interesting entry, "Acting in One's Own Best Interests." Essentially he suggests that the highest form of achievement comes when people act in their own best interests.
Matt Thommes is thinking about "Grouping RSS feeds by priority and frequency." This is an idea I've been playing with for a while, but I've never gotten right because of exactly the problem that Matt discusses in his post.
Betsy Fanning of the AIIM Standards Watch is requesting Best Practices for Email Management through a new community they've set up. They are looking for suggestions as to what the group should discuss. I've got a few thoughts, of course.
"Time out (please?)" from Brett Miller and some reflection on Facebook has me thinking that the best Facebook application is my bicycle. Or the back porch and a Moleskin.
Amy Gahran says, "I want one place for all my content: Pipe dream?" She mentioned this at BlogHer as well.
Anne Zelenka at Web Worker Daily had some interesting thoughts about a different mode of productivity that isn't harmed by multi-tasking. "Connected Mode: Multitasking for Productivity."
Kaye Vivian takes a new spin on knowledge silos that highlights an important aspect of how and why they arise in business.
Matt Hodgson has pointed me to the writings of Anne Zelenka and a discussion they've been having about Peter Drucker and the implications of Drucker's thinking on work in a Web2.0 world.
Shawn Callahan is bummed that his masters-level students are using sources (Google and Wikipedia) without evaluating their reliability. Information literacy is an important, but dying, art form.
I came across Henrik Edberg's discussion of 9 Mistakes That Can Kill Your Personal Growth last week. Interesting thoughts.
