New Productivity Magazine

If the inaugural issue of Productive! Magazine is any indication, people are definitely seeking better ways to get things done. Since its November 20 release as a free, downloadable, 3 MB PDF, the 33-page magazine has averaged 1000 downloads per day. That’s pretty darn impressive.

The first issue contains a long and interesting interview with the GTD guru himself, David Allen, as well as 17 other articles by people with a solid productivity rep. I particularly liked “Zen to Done” by Zen Habits founder Leo Babauta−a sort of GTD re-interpretation for the Zen-oriented among us (Babauta calls it ZTD).

When I read through the magazine, a certain synchronicity seemed to be afoot. I happened to be having a not-so-good day (it started with a dead car battery in the morning and just got worse), but my mood improved considerably after reading James Mallinson’s “Having One of Those Days? Here’s How to Deal With It.” I needed to be reminded that, yes, Shit Happens, and also that sometimes it’s a good idea to just Treat Yourself and Move On. Gretchen Rubin’s “7 Tips for Making Yourself Happier in the Next Hour” also worked a bit of magic.

Since I can’t think or get anything done if my surroundings are a mess, I didn’t really need Chanpory Rith’s “10 Tips for Keeping Your Desk Clean and Tidy”−but I know zillions of people whose lives would change forever if they read his 10 simple-but-effective tips to banish slobdom.

There’s lots more in Productive! to dazzle and amaze and turn you into an effectiveness wunderkind, so go download your free copy at http://productivemagazine.com. You can also buy hard copies online from www.lulu.com.
