Producteev Two is a Sequel Worth Checking Out

Yesterday was the launch of latest offering in web-based productivity software solutions, Producteev Two.  The system takes all of your (and, if applicable, you team’s) tasks and puts them into one place where they can managed and tracked accordingly.  I’ve had some time to play around with the beta release of the product and am quite impressed with the look, feel and ease of use of this pretty powerful tool.  Oh, and you can do pretty much everything without even going to their website.

5 Tips for Managing Email Overload

With press releases, Evites, news stories, coupon codes, client communications, and internal messages all arriving electronically, most of us get about a gazillion emails a day. For awhile, I managed several email boxes so I could keep newsletters and group discussions separate from my main inbox. Big mistake!

The Midweek Manifesto

You’ve just passed the middle of the week.  No time like the present to take a look at what you’ve done and what you have to get done.  Here’s a short note I like to call The Midweek Manifesto:

My mission is to reflect on the beginning of the week, see what I’ve not done and reboot it and see what I’ve done and celebrate it.  Looking forward I will take what’s left to be done and do it and with the rest of my plans I will stand firm.  I’ll add tasks as I need and make sure that I heed my own voice that tells me, “I must get to complete.”

It may sound a bit cheesy but it works for me.  I’m not suggesting you use this example, but just keep in mind your week is past the halfway mark.  Don’t let it get away from you. Click Here to Read Article …
