How to Be a Productivity Ninja - with Pocket Informant

by Matthew Brown

This book is designed for people who need help with their stuff. When we talk about “stuff”, we mean all the things that we have to deal with daily in this fast-moving world. Email, mobile communications, meetings, digital media. All of that. It’s not easy, but it is possible to manage a very high workload and multiple complex professional and personal commitments and to do so with no stress whatsoever. To achieve this requires the skills of the Productivity Ninja, and the power of Pocket Informant. This book tells you how to do it.

*** Now updated for Pocket Informant 3. 0 - and corrects the small typo mentioned in one of the reviews. Thanks!

Reviews

[Brian Grant · Rating 5 out of 5]

I've been using Pocket Informant (now Informant) for several years. While there have always been at least one, though usually several, other apps in it's orbit, Informant has been central to my task tracking and management. This book has helped me to leverage more of what Informant does well, to eliminate the use of some of the other apps, and to generally simplify things a great deal for me.

I read Getting Things Done several years ago, though I never really figured out how to make a system like stick with the tools I was using. This book presents a sort of streamlined GTD-like approach and how to apply them to Informant. I'm happy to report that I've been happily following the book's advice since then.
