10 Best Productivity Sites

Whether you are work­ing as a free­lance at home,  a small busi­ness or work­ing in a large cor­po­ra­tion, the way you han­dle your respon­si­bil­i­ties and your work load has a direct effect on your per­sonal life. Pro­duc­tiv­ity is an impor­tant issue dur­ing our day to day rou­tines, par­tic­u­larly in the ani­ma­tion and enter­tain­ment indus­tries where processes are time-consuming and detail-oriented. Some projects may last up to 3 years and more and the amount of data gen­er­ated may sur­pass tril­lions of bytes. So how can we find a way to enjoy our daily work­load, plan for future projects and col­lab­o­rate effec­tively in a stress-free manner?

The fol­low­ing is a list of some of the best blogs on per­sonal and pro­fes­sional pro­duc­tiv­ity and although each one of them is geared towards a spe­cific nature of the sub­ject, they all man­age to give you a clear roadmap and insights into how to con­duct your life with the best use of your time in order to obtain the best results.

Per­son­ally I am a firm believer in David Allen’s method called “Get­ting Things Done” and his book “Get­ting Things Done: The Art of Stress-Free Pro­duc­tiv­ity” but it’s just my per­sonal choice. He has a lot of other very use­ful stuff he sells on his site which are all geared towards mak­ing you more productive.

I have to stress one point and that is there is no magic for­mula or exact recipe to becom­ing a pro­duc­tive per­son and don’t expect to find your way by read­ing these blogs or books. These sites will give you a lot of use­ful infor­ma­tion, roadmaps and method­olo­gies but in order to make best use of all this info you will need to find the method­ol­ogy or pro­ce­dure that suits you most and then tweak it to suit your way of life and most impor­tantly, STICK TO IT!!
