Time management

My colleague is very much into personal effectiveness the last few months. He started with reading Stephen R. Covey’s ‘First Things First‘ (’Prioriteiten‘ in Duth), then got into websites like Zen Habits and Unclutterer. We laugh about it, but the effects are great: he truly became very effective and organized. Because he is doing this, it has a positive effect on me as well. It is inspiring to see someone learn and develop. So, thanks Erik! ;)

Anyway, maybe because of the above, my eye caught this wonderful presentation on Time Management by Randy Pausch (click the video below, slides here) on the web. I watched it, it energized me, and I learned a few things too. He is remarkable, have a look, you will enjoy!

If you like the video above, have a look at this other impressive video: Randy’s “Last Lecture“.

    Have you looked into GTD (Getting Things Done) by David Allen? You might find some useful techniques on the numerous sites that espouse his teaching, and certainly in his book by the same name. I recently switched from Covey fanatic to Allen convert with a new application that lets me GTD on my Windows computer at work, my Mac at home and even on my cell phone.
