Focusing on the important things can be hard. Actually, focusing in general can be hard (for me at least). Yet, making sure to focus and accomplish the important tasks in your day is a key part of time management and being productive. There is a great deal we can learn from reading productivity blogs. Books are useful references as well. For example, I am sure you have heard of Stephen Covey and his book The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People or First Things First by the same author. While Steven Covey teaches great lessons in his books, they are not the easiest books to read and not very entertaining (don’t take my word for it, try reading it yourself or buy it on CD). So, instead of searching out these books, I prefer trying to learn useful and innovative time management tips from blogs I discover searching the web. I have been fortunate to discover some pretty good blogs on the subject. Two of my favorites are lifehacker.com and Putthingsoff.com. They are not new blogs and you have probably come across them already.
Lifehacker.com and Putthingsoff.com are not only informative but entertaining to read. I find Putthingsoff.com to be quite comical. The moment the page loads you may want to chuckle at the little kitty on the front page. There are a lot of cartoon images on the blog, I guess to help readers relax while they soak in productivity tips. It is described as a “laid back productivity blog”, and there isn’t a more true description. Lifehacker.com is bit more technology focused than Putthingsoff.com is, but you can still gain from its advice. If you use gadgets to help you be more productive, lifehacker.com is a great read.
I will be posting articles about productivity and time management in the near future, but until then it may be a good use of time to check out these two blogs for some direction and advice on being focused and using your time wisely.
I welcome your comments – please add your own productivity blog or search results to this list.
