It’s Friday so let’s take a moment to pay tribute to the book that’s the field book towards productivity. Getting Things Done (GTD by the legions of followers) written by David Allen is a real world guide to lifehack your daily routine.

O Brother!

The first big step that you will quickly adopt and will be a mainstay of your new organized life is a Label Maker. Allen recommends the P-touch label system from Brother. No need for a computer or a printer, just nice clean sticky tape on the go. For those who have seen my handwriting this suggestion from David made files go from items only I could read to…Useful. After you have “labeled” you life you will soon find yourself protective of your label maker as people will often want to borrow your label maker leaving you unable to label as things come in. Yes, It can become a unhealthy obsession, yet in the war on procrastination and lost files the Brother P-touch($32) is required ammunition.
