        Mike Vardy 3rd June Productivity Leave a Comment

          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

            Susan Johnston 3rd June Productivity Leave a Comment

              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! Now I have over a thousand unread messages in one email account, and I’m tempted to declare email bankruptcy. Click Here to Read Article …

              The Midweek Manifesto

              Mike Vardy 2nd June Goals Leave a Comment

                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 …

                Just Released – Producteev Two

                Mike Vardy 2nd June Productivity Leave a Comment

                  Producteev Two, a web-based task management solution hit the “virtual shelves” today and it is the latest addition to the many productivity tools that can be utilized by individuals or teams.  The aim of these types of applications is to get you out of managing your tasks from your email inbox and put them in a system that will enable you to manage them more efficiently and effectively.

                  I’ve had the opportunity to play around with the beta version of Producteev Two and will be posting a more comprehensive overview of the system tomorrow.  In the meantime, you can sign up here – it’s free for individuals to try (with some limitations – albeit none that really cripple the product) and put it through the paces yourself.
