New E-book on Productivity

January 20th, 2009 by Stephen

Posted in Book Reviews, Community, Downloads, E-book, GTD, Links, Productivity |

Welcome back! It's good to see you again. Please note that I am now publishing all new material at my hub site: StephenPSmith.com

James at Organize IT has a new e-book on productivity tips available today:

Today I’m releasing my second ebook, called Productivity Tips: 10 Clever Ideas For Getting Things Done. It is based on my popular productivity tips series here at the blog, but expanded and improved for an ebook release. I originally started the series as a way of collecting all those random thoughts and ideas on becoming more efficient into one place. It’s often these small tips and tweaks - which don’t really form part of a fancy system or methodology - that make the biggest difference in your life. Seeing as a I recently published my tenth tip it seemed like an appropriate milestone to bring the collection so far together for an ebook.

I have read part one and it is excellent. Very concise and practical tips on getting your workflow together.

The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People in Context

January 8th, 2009 by Stephen

Posted in 7 Habits, Downloads, E-book, GTD, Personal Development List, The Examined Life |

At long last the e-book is ready! I have compiled all of the posts and worksheets from one of my most popular series into one download.

The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People E-book

Download Now

If you are looking to get more information on how to implement the 7 Habits of Highly Effective People in a Getting Things Done-style system you are in the right place. Over the course of the next few pages you will encounter lessons in personal change that can transform your life.

Because this is not exactly a simple concept to implement, I have created a set of 7 lessons that will guide you through the stages of implementation over the next 7 weeks. This should give you a chance to focus on each new habit in your life for one full week before implementing the next one. Some of the lessons are supplemented by a follow-up worksheet that I have created to help you start implementing the new habit.

Many of you have been requesting this, and I am pleased to provide the totally free information here: The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People in Context.

The Neat & Simple Guides

December 8th, 2008 by Stephen

Posted in Book Reviews, Downloads, E-book, GTD with ADD, Links, Selling |


My friend Ariane has updated her “getting organized” series of e-books: “The problem that many creative, spontaneous, and super-busy people like me have is that we have tried to use conventional organizing strategies that worked for our friends, or that we read in books written by “disciplined” people who like structure and schedules, and who really don’t mind putting a lot of effort into designing and maintaining sophisticated solutions. This book will help them too, because anyone can do simple, but really this book is for people who don’t have the time or patience for lots of details and steps.

Ariane has worked as a professional organizer for many, many people over the past few years and she has taken the lessons learned from her personal coaching experiences and distilled them into a series of e-books that can show you how to overcome clutter and disorganization.

I have been meaning to write a series of books like this to share my own experiences, but why re-invent the wheel? I have read these books and they are written in a friendly and easy-to-understand style. Go get yours today! If you would like to learn more about Ariane and what she can do for you, visit her blog at Neat & Simple.
