Be Productive
Ever get the feeling that you could be doing a bit more with your time? Yeah, me to! Being more productive can give you a lot more time to do the things you want to do, rather than what you have to do. The Productive Strageties blog deals with all sorts of issues around, yes you guessed it - personal productivity. The Site has had regular articles posted for about a year. The posts are all fairly short - You can read them quite quickly. The downside with this site is the only way to read back over the older posts is to go to the monthly archives - I would have liked to see a category link to all old posts as well.
Whenever looking at a blog type site, I always like to read a couple of the most current posts, oldest posts and a few in the middle. This gives me a sense of what the writer is all about. I can usually tell how well the subject is known, and if the rest of the site might be worthwhile reading - I guess you could say that I am making productive use of my time reviewing the site!
There is a mix of posts that explore a subject in a “sterile” type way and others that use personal experiences to address a point. A recent post titled borders is a great example of the personal style of writing. A lot of the posts have had comments left on them which also indicates a bit of a community. Blogs don’t get comments unless they either provide good or controversial content - I vote that the content tends towards the good.
One of my favourite posts is the Optimal Time for Productivity post. It is all about the time of day that you are at your peak productivity. Of course this varies from person to person and also from task to task. For me, I am best able to focus and write my reviews after dinner each night - when I am a little relaxed and not so pressured to get it all done. Take a look, and find your own best time of the day.
