My Productivity is Decreasing by Writing This Post

February 22, 2006 09:35 AM

Web 2.0. If you don't get it, you're web has-been, living in the past. It seems that the connecting thread between all things labeled "Web 2.0" are that they're supposed to make you more productive. Unfortunately, as I've become more and more interested in how I can use some of these tools my productivity has been plummeting. I'm not trying to make a direct connection between these two items; I'm just really feeling like I'm not getting anything done. Part of my current excuse is that I'm in-between Macs since the PB was sacrificed to the Guinness candle gods. I have Big Plans to Get Stuff Done when I finally get my MacBook Pro later this week. For now, I'll just list some sites that I think can make my web life better if I actually use them.

Lifehacker - The mothership of How To Be Productive. I check it daily, and make notes and bookmark links that could be helpful. Next, I need to make a move on everything that I discover and save from there.

Flickr - Everybody likes to share their photos and search through other people's photos. It's easy to use and is fun.

blackrimglasses - This is a new discovery of mine, from the guy who brought the web one of my favorite websites ever. He has some good tips on how he best uses his always-online tools. Plus he has great taste in music.

43 Folders - The blog of productivity guru Merlin Mann. I actually prefer one of his other blogs, but that off the topic of this post, isn't it?

NetNewsWire - Using an RSS reader is the best thing that's happened to my web browsing in the past year. I've really missed this aggregator while I've been Mac-less since I'm too lazy to set up another reader on my Windows laptop.

Please let me know what other websites, blogs, or software I could use to make me feel like I need to be doing more.

MacBook Pro Feeling Tracker: Shipped from Shanghai this morning! Excited! Impatient!
