Apple MacBook Pro

145 people recommended this item

Description

I bought a 17" MacBook back when Apple first introduced them (back then they were called "PowerBooks", of course). Five years later, it's amazing to see how far the MacBook has come.

It looks and feels almost exactly like the original, until you begin to notice the subtle details. The magnetic power cord that "pops" off if someone accidentally trips on it. The screen is sharper and has a significant boost in resolution. The processor is a screaming-fast dual-core intel. All wrapped up in its familiar aluminum shell, with a backlit keyboard. Ah, sweet bliss...

Getting Things Done: The Art of Stress-Free Productivity

First to recommend

11 people recommended this item

Description

This is one of the few time management/personal productivity books I've ever read that's actually made sense. In this case, David Allen was able to explain why my to do list was getting longer by the day, my brain was feeling more and more overwhelmed, and my email in-box was about to implode. (Actually, it did implode a few times, but I'll leave that story for another day.)

In a nutshell, Allen's book maps out a simple strategy for "getting things done" that involves getting those "to dos" out of your head and on to a series of "action" lists. Of course, you have to work the system. No system is maintenance-free.

There are a growing number of Internet websites devoted to the ideas contained in this compelling and idea-filled book -- e.g., DIYPlanner.com, 43folders.com, and LifeHacks.com. If you decide to give Allen's system a go, you'll find plenty of online support and inspiration.
