Raw Thought: HOWTO: Be more productive

I created this category to catch all of the productivity stuff that I seem to find myself reading. I'm not sure however, whether or not the time invested in reading these articles actually contributes to my procrastination or not .... a question best left for another posting.

Anyway, this article is a great motivator. I have a lot of ideas that simply stay as ideas and I need a way to move from ideas to action. I'm sure I'm not alone in this respect, but that fact that I am self-aware is frankly depressing enough that I'm doing something about it.

As per the article, I have a handy-dandy Moleskin with blank note cards that I carry with me to capture my eureka moments. At the very least, I've begun investigating the possibility of actually carrying out these projects and in some cases prototyping. Not to say that everything is achievable given certain externalities (damn you iPhone and your paltry 2 megapixel non-autofocusing camera !!!!). But the fact of the matter is that the idea has a least been given an opportunity. I'm sure that most of these ideas will never see fruition, but at the very least, I can always point out my rather brilliant precognitive outlook when other people build them.

Ahhhh, basking in the reflected light of another's success!!! The validation of a true procrastinator. It's only taken a year to actually post something to this category though. Guess what? I put it off.
