There have been quite a few new subscribers over the past couple of weeks, so I thought that I would roll out the red carpet for you all. Thank you for subscribing, I know that your time is valuable and I work to provide value for your investment of time.

This blog is a record of my Getting Things Done practice, as well as commentary on Leadership, New Media, Web 2.0, and the Future of Work. Here are a few links that go back into the archives, discussing some of the basic features of Getting Things Done productivity:
- The complete set-up
- Tickler File
- Create your own Organizer

Guest Posts and Book Reviews
HD BizBlog is proud to be host two great guest columnists every week, Al from 7pproductions on Mondays, and Mike St. Pierre’s GTD Cafe every Wednesday. There is always room for additional writers who would like to get involved in the HD BizBlog community. Please send an e-mail ( stephen [at] hdbizblog [dot] com ) if you are interested in contributing.
I have reviewed a handful of books and productivity gear, you can see those efforts here:
- How, by Dov Seidman
- Made to Stick, by Chip & Dan Heath
- The 360 Degree Leader, by John C. Maxwell
- Everyone’s an Expert, by Seth Godin
- Also, my thoughts and inspirations via The Cluetrain Manifesto, the most important business book of the past 20 years!
- The Bubble Planner, a new vision in planning and organizing.
- Rollabind Notebook
This is only a short list of what is available. Please take a look around at your leisure, and feel free to contact me with any questions or suggestions.
The Sidebar
There is an awful lot of information in the sidebar, including Microchannels on the assorted category tags, links to other productivity blogs, Resource pages, a list of books on productivity and personal growth (via Amazon affiliate links), and the GTD System lens at Squidoo. The lens has a Plexo with a list of top GTD and Productivity blogs where you can vote for your favorite, or add your own to the running. (There are also some ads in the sidebar, a necessary evil for defraying the hosting costs. Clicking the links helps me help you, it can’t hurt!)
“Coming Attractions”
Some of the posts and projects that I am working on include:
- More on The Art of Productivity
- A set of “How-to” e-books and training courses
- A new theme and organization scheme
- A 2008 version of the GTD Calendar (full- and half-page) (Click here, it’s ready!)
Thank you again for reading and subscribing, I am looking forward to seeing the community continue to grow. Please, leave a comment, I would love to hear your feedback.
