List of time management methods

Here is an alphabetical list of personal productivity / time management methods I stumbled upon. I tried some of them.

• Action Machine
• Autofocus
• DIT (Do It Tomorrow)
• GTD (Getting Things Done)
• Pomodoro technique
• ZTD (Zen To Done)

Please, let me know if you know of another method missing from this list.

The Cult of Done

They wrote the Cult of Done Manifesto in 20 minutes, because they had 20 minutes to get it done. I find it similar to my concept of “half-done”, they are just less scrupulous than me. I actually have more to say about it. But that’s enough for now, it’s done.

Tim Ferriss meets TED

The best self-promoted time manager of our times (see Wired for details), Timothy Ferriss had a speech on his ideas of learning and self-improvement techniques on my favourite video podcast channel, TED.

Tim talks about the general way of learning things: fighting the fear, deconstructing the activity, then focusing on the learning. All these explained through a few examples from his life. This is the way how Argentine tango and Japanese language can come together in a presentation.
