interviewsA conversation with Ron Hale Evans, author of "Mind Performance Hacks"Tue, 2008/08/12 - 23:05 — mattIn my continuing interview series with top people in productivity I'd like to share highlights from a recent conversation with Mind Performance Hacks author Ron Hale-Evans. I'm a big fan of Ron's book, having mentioned it in How To Use The "I'm Not Going To ____" Mind Hack and An Idea (and Question) Dump From The Big-arse Text File. It's loaded with great tips, including (paraphrased): An interview with Scott Ginsberg, author of "Hello, My Name is Scott"Wed, 2008/07/09 - 15:57 — mattAn interview with Scott Ginsberg, author of "Hello, My Name is Scott" Starting week I'm extending my interview series with the top experts in the field by sharing productivity insights and stories from people who are influential and successful, i.e, highly productive. I'll start with highlights from my recent coversation with Scott Ginsberg (site, blog). I found out about Scott via his book Hello, My Name is Scott, which takes an happy accident (leaving his nametag on after an event) and extends it to a unique perspective of the world, one of my absolute favorite topics. (It's why I got into productivity consulting in the first place.) A conversation with Kerry Gleeson, author of "The Personal Efficiency Program"Mon, 2008/03/31 - 16:17 — mattI've mentioned Kerry many times in my writing (more about him here: [1]), and his book, The Personal Efficiency Program, has been a significant influence on the development of my own ideas around personal productivity. This thought in particular went very deep:Although most of us have been formally educated to work in our professions, few of us, especially white-collar workers, have been taught how to work efficiently and effectively. Too many white-collar professionals have no idea how to organize themselves or how best to process their work. A conversation with Mark Hurst, web usability expert and author of "Bit literacy"Thu, 2008/01/24 - 00:28 — mattRecently I had a nice conversation with Mark Hurst, a leader of the online "customer experience" movement, and author of Bit Literacy: Productivity in the Age of Information and E-mail Overload (see the book's site and sample chapter). Additionally, he's contributed to the web usability field in many other ways. For more, see his bio, his company, his newsletter, and his blog. A conversation with Marilyn Paul, author of "It's hard to make a difference when you can't find your keys"Fri, 2008/01/04 - 01:44 — mattAnother treat in my interview series (kickoff post, all posts), I'm very pleased to share highlights from an hour with Dr. Marilyn Paul, author of the best-selling It's Hard to Make a Difference When You Can't Find Your Keys (The Seven-Step Path to Becoming Truly Organized) (personal and consulting sites). A nice surprise: A short email interview with UK productivity expert Nicholas BateTue, 2007/12/04 - 02:10 — mattOne of the great things about my series of interviews with top productivity consultants [1] (along with lots of new ideas) is discovering thinkers I've not previously heard of. I'm pleased to share a short email interview with Nicholas Bate (site, blog), who came to my attention when I received a surprise box of books and playing cards [2] from London, including Being the Best: The A-Z of Personal Success, JfDI! A conversation with Sally McGhee, productivity pioneer and author of "Take Back Your Life"Wed, 2007/11/21 - 01:31 — mattContinuing my interview series with the top experts in personal productivity comes another deep and wide-ranging conversation, this time with Sally McGhee, CEO of McGhee Productivity Solutions and author of Take Back Your Life!: Using Microsoft Office Outlook 2007 to Get Organized and Stay Organized. An interview with Chris Crouch, creator of the GO SystemThu, 2007/11/08 - 08:52 — mattContinuing my interview series [1] with the top experts in personal productivity, I'm very pleased to share highlights from my conversation with Chris Crouch, creator of the GO System and author of Getting Organized: Learning How to Focus, Organize and Prioritize. Chris's company runs a certification program and sells products like an implementation kit. You can find some of his articles here. A conversation with Chris Crouch, author and creator of the GO System - Part ITue, 2007/11/06 - 04:34 — mattUpdate: There was some confusion about the format for Chris's interview, so I had to pull this older version. The final one is here: An interview with Chris Crouch, creator of the GO System. Thanks to Chris and you for understanding. matt A conversation with Laura Stack, the Productivity ProTue, 2007/10/09 - 05:17 — mattAs I announced last week [1], I'll be interviewing the top experts in the field of personal productivity, and I'm pleased to start out with a bang - I had the pleasure of talking with Laura Stack, AKA the Productivity Pro, last week. |
