It's been a while since we asked a Friday Afternoon Question, but old traditions die hard. The sun's started to come out around Guardian Towers, I'm looking forward to the weekend and there is no better time to arse around on the internet.
Now, I thought we'd kick off with a question that's more practical than ponderous: tips for productivity. Getting Things Done is a cult among tech-types, but I doubt many of us have the commitment to actually see it through. So tell us what you think.
What's your best productivity tip or application?
Have you found a great way to save time, or use your days better? Do you read your emails on an iPod or have an intelligent method for sorting through wads of email?
For me, the biggest difference has been simply learning to be increasingly brutal with email: each day I receive probably a couple of hundred messages, and I clear them out into an archive folder every night. They get filtered, saved, deleted and leave my main inbox view clean and clear: it has a placebo effect I find strangely comforting.
Tell us your tips... the winner gets to bask in the warm glow of sharing their tips with the rest of us.
