This is an interesting post about using Mac Fast User Switching for GTD Contexts.
The idea is to use separate accounts with separate Email, Instant Messaging and Bookmarks and so on to separate out the different modes of your work.
Contexts Using Separate Mac Accounts
Google Calendar Beta
Now is the time to test drive the new Google calendar. People are raving about the features it offers and the user interface, but one of the coolest things about it is the promise of it being a platform for people to build onto… the open API…
The bigger question is will Calendar be a “hit” for Google or just another so-so product. I do think it’s an advanced user service, in much the same way that Gmail attracts a more sophisticated email user. In that way, it’s a great fit with Google’s target audience of early adopters.
Managing Interruptions
This is a great suggestion from the Boston Globe article on managing interruptions:
Break tasks into 10-minute segments; when you get interrupted, jot a phrase or cue to bring you back into the task later. When people drop in or call, give them your full attention.
