CCCApply Workshop
I spoke today at the CCCApply state workshop at Pasadena City College and had a great time. If you are reading this because of my shameless plug, thanks for stopping by. The GTD links I mentioned are in the right column of this page. Enjoy!

CACCRAO Conference
On Tuesday I spoke at the CACCRAO conference in San Diego and did two presentations. One was on MAP and Getting Things Done (GTD) and the second was my iPod Generation speech. I enjoyed the time with the group, and if you are reading this due to my numerous and shameful blog plugs, you can find the links in the right column of this page. Enjoy.

Lifehacker on Jott
Yesterday in my faculty in-service sessions I demonstrated a great service called Jott. Lifehacker has an article today that provides a really nice overview of Jott.
I discovered by reading this article, and checking the Jott web site, that this service uses a combination of software and humans to transcribe voice messages into text. I didn't know that any human intervention was involved. It does explain how amazingly accurate it is, but also makes me think back to some of the messages I have sent myself while testing it. Oops! I think I'll be a little more careful from now on. It is possible to set your account settings so no humans are involved. I may try that and see if the performance or accuracy changes.
In any case, it's a great service and I use it all the time when I think of something I need to remember and I'm not in a place where I can record it in my to-do list.

Using Technology to Get Things Done
Today I'm doing a faculty in-service at each of our colleges on the Getting Things Done (GTD) productivity system by David Allen. I'm going to talk a little bit about the GTD principles and then demonstrate some technology tools that can be use to get yourself more organized and keep email from dominating your life. Links to all of the systems I mention are in the right column on this blog under "GTD Links".
