The Simplicity Habit Podcast Episode 3
Posted by Michael | Filed under Featured, Podcast
Show Notes
For the week of April 27, 2008
We received our first listener email seeking some advice, so we decided to make it the topic of the entire episode. We offer some advice on approaches to productivity, keeping the focus on defining projects, rather than getting lost in the tasks. For the more visual among you, we suggest finding the biggest whiteboard you can, grabbing a few colored pens, and mindmapping your projects to literally get the bigger picture.
We’re going to try a new format, featuring weekly quick bites of productivity from the Simplicity Habit apple; just enough to get you ready for the main show now every other week.

May 21st, 2008 at 9:35 pmHi,
Thanks to you guys I started using Mindmanager today, and so far so good! It was a lot easier to get going with than I thought, and the mind mapping is so much cleaner than in my moleskin.
Another organizational improvement I’m implementing is a shared family calendar. Is there a way to sync my work outlook calendar with an online service that my wife can work off?
Thanks!
Gabe
