[...] But I wanted to understand better, especially as Tris and Scot are having a competition and I wanted to help spread the word. Their blog post announcing the competition is It’s a pimpalicious Pimp Your Work contest! You can win cool stuff, easy. There was that word again, in a couple of forms. Clearly I needed to get some clarification, if not for the sake of readers unfamiliar with the finer (?) nuances of North American slang, then at least for my own sake. [...]

[...] Scot (speaking on his behalf) and I want to thank everyone for entering our little contest. There are some great entries. Now the fun begins, picking the winners. I expect Scot and I will be able to announce the winners this week. What are people going to get? I really want to keep that a surprise, but I will say this, the best tip is going to get a ton of stuff. [...]

Always chasing little scraps of paper around the office? Then consider “My Life Organized” (MLO) as a task manager.This is a very short review because I know I have another five tasks to achieve before I shutdown my computer tonight. How do I know that I have five tasks? Because I use a combination of David Allens “Getting Things Done” (GTD) system and “My Life Organized” (MLO).

In a nutshell MLO is task outliner. It allows you keep track of all of the things you want to do now, tomorrow and ever. The outliner looks and works like the windows folder system. If that was all MLO offered it would be a good tool.

[...] Finally, I jumped to a perfectly purple site called Pimp Your Work, enticed by the “Pimpalicious Pimp Your Work contest“. With a title like that, one can’t help but check it out. The contest is up for another couple of days and your asked to leave your best work tip. Let’s see… being guilty of this one and having actually recovered from it, I’d say. Don’t piss off your boss. No matter how right you think you are. [...]

By: Pimp Your Work - If MindManager isn’t for you, maybe try Freemind for mindmapping

Fri, 15 Dec 2006 17:55:11 +0000

[...] Liz Strauss has a guest post from Grigor Ćorić on mindmapping. Grigor recommends FreeMind as an alternative to commercial mindmapping tools. Okay, I’ve tried FreeMind and I didn’t like it. I was spoiled already by MindManager from MindJet. Hobie Swan introduced me to MindManager and gave me a license to use. MindJet is also one of the sponsors of our contest (still open until next week). That bias aside, if you want to get into mindmapping and aren’t sure about it, try FreeMind. I think the process of mindmapping is more important that the tool you use to do it. [...]

My best tip is to get a second job, especially as a freelancer or consultant, so that you can save for trips, credit card bills, student loans, retirement or whatever else your heart desires. In fact, getting a second job is also a great way to transition to working from home.

Hi There!

I just came across, thanks to Darren’s speedlink.

I use HP iPaq Pocket PC and would like to share my tips on automated backup of Pocket PC. It is a life saver and I am sure it will help, whoever uses a Pocket PC :-)

I just stumbled on your blog, due to Darren’s speedlink. Good stuff here!

My tip: take regular, periodic breaks. I use a program called Take a Break. It’s free!

You can define a “work” interval and a “break” interval, then the program reminds you when it’s time to do what. For example, set it for 50 minutes of work, 10 minute break. This way you can get away from your desk, stretch your legs, etc.
