Project Planning in Context

I have put together an E-book for people that are interested in Project Planning, not in a deep, technical sense, but in a general, daily application. Project Planning in Context is for you if you would like to learn more about planning and executing a detailed or time-consuming project and just don’t know where to start.

Guest Posts and Book Reviews

Productivity in Context is proud to be host to a terrific guest columnist every week: 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 and right. Here you will find the Productivity in Context sponsors (a necessary evil for paying the bills. Clicking the links helps me help you, it can’t hurt!), links to social networking sites, and the Technorati information.

“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 (like this one).
• A group of lenses at Squidoo detailing the entire Getting Things Done process
• 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.
