This is the first of a series of comics for Pimp Your Work.
While I review several productivity tools and discuss several methods here at Pimp Your Work, I don’t mean that you use them all. Pick the best tools that suit your working style, and keep the number of tools you use to a minimum. Otherwise, the tools that were designed to help you end up consuming too much of your time and energy. When I first got into productivity, that was the mistake I made.
Also, it doesn’t meant that if a tool is right for you now, you have to use it forever. When I had trouble figuring out where my time went and what my major time sinks were (you know, those things that needlessly consume your time), I used Rescue Time. I stopped using it last week because I got my time sinks under control.
Now, I just use Google Calendar and To Do List (for monthly record of work).
What tools do you use? Did you encounter the problem of using too many tools?
