I’m in the middle of writing up the post to accompany this week’s ReadWriteWeb cartoon, which is about productivity tools. And I’ve just realized I’ve never posted this thing here. I made it and posted it to my blog several years ago after being very impressed with David Allen’s book, but feeling a little pessimistic at the prospects of my actually making it work.

As it turned out, the book really did make a difference. Nobody would ever mistake me for a professional organizer, but it helped me get more on top of things than I’d been in a long time.
