    When I first started blogging about productivity and new media, I was lucky enough to come across a great website with links to the RSS feeds of a bunch of other productivity bloggers. Called The Ultimate GTD Index, this one page lists over 50 blogs and dozens of other resources for improving your productivity.

    What does this mean to me?

    16 of these blogs are updated regularly (once a week or more) and the posts that are listed on the Ultimate Index page are GTD-specific - that means no “cat-blogging”. This is where I go at least once a week to keep up on the happenings in the rest of the prod-o-sphere.

    The proprietor of the Ultimate Index (who goes by the super-hero name of gtdfrk, in order to maintain his secret identity) also maintains a blog at the same site, with articles on productivity practices, applications, and more. Interesting quotes, like this one:

    David Allen

    Decide the outcome and the action step, put reminders of those somewhere your brain trusts you’ll see them at the right time, and listen to your brain breathe easier.

    His first quote effectively summarizes his own GTD methodology. Always ask yourself: “What’s the successful outcome? And what’s the next action?”. Apply the GTD principles consistently to experience that feeling of relaxed control, a “mind like water”.

    …can be found, along with gtdfrk’s analysis and insight to provide context and meaning. I have had several e-mail conversations with the author, who is a collaborator at the Knowledge Management forum that is just getting started. We have joined forces in order to explore the future of productivity and workflow in order to provide the best information to our readers.

    Write it down or it won’t happen!

    How can I get involved?

    You can subscribe to the RSS feed and never miss a post. You can also submit a question for gtdfrk in the Comments at this post, and he’ll post the answer for you. Or you can just peruse the archives and categories for interesting articles that will definitely help you with improving your productivity practice, no matter if you are all-digital or all-paper.

    Do not miss out on this terrific resource, and check out this contest!
