33 Rules to Boost Your Productivity - Volume 2

Great post there. Honestly after a long time I've seen 2 good article (atleast something of my liking) that I saw!

[John Wesley]

A big list post, sure to take off via the social sites. I'm guessing traffic has been down a little recently?

[Steve Pavlina]

Lately I've been on a productivity jag. I started making a list of productivity ideas for myself and realized it would be something worth sharing, so that's how this article came about.

The first article in this series is getting picked up everywhere (Digg'd, #1 on del.icio.us, Lifehacker, etc). That additional exposure will probably increase one day's traffic by about 50-100%. One of the challenges of high traffic sites is that even the best surges from social bookmarking don't have a major impact, relatively speaking. It still helps though.

Nice article, i'm amazed to find out that the volume 2 has many good ideas just as volume 1 does.


Maybe a volume 3 is coming?

[Steve Pavlina]

Volume 3 has already been written and will be posted tomorrow. But that one is more of a satirical post.

Great list steve.
Hopefully I will implement at least 70% of it...but steve expects us to implement 100%.Come on do it now.

Ahhhh, this is the stuff that got me hooked on your blog when I first started reading. Thanks for two great entries, Steve!

[JohnK]

My goodness! A total of 66 rules. With a promise of more tomorrow. However shall I follow them?

Rule #1: there are no rules.

Another helpful post, most grateful (then again, there are very few that I don't find helpful). Will be implementing these rules as soon as possible.

Great stuff.

I am very impressed with Steve's content. For that matter, everybody on this Forum is impressive. It seems like everybody here is smarter than me. At least when it comes to computer technology.

Steve, what is the difference between your Blog and your regular on line Site?

[Erock]

These are nifty little articles. I really enjoy them, and all these little productivity ideas make me want to be more efficient myself. 24 hours in the day. Am I using them the right way?

Thanks, Steve! This is the sort of stuff that I love your site for.

[Kazeko]

Thanks a lot, Steve! Great and valuable content, but I appreciate links even more! "Develop your communication skills" helped me to find out that we have Toastmasters in Russia!!! (Just clicked "Find a club" - and found Moscow Free Speakers Club #6386) Always wanted to join, after reading your posts which mention it - now I have the opportunity!

Asylum. Complete an otherwise tedious task in an unusual or crazy manner to keep it interesting. Make phone calls using pretend foreign accents. Fill out government paperwork in crayon.

Haha steve, I love this.

Although not as powerful to me as the first productivity post it was a good follow up. Look foward to the next one!
