Applejack program

Just a quick post about Applejack. Applejack does a number of various tasks, including Repairing Permissions, Reparing Virtual Memory, Deleting Corrupt Permissions as well as removing old cache files. I've read about the program on other sites, and I finally tried it today. It's safe to say that I successfully recovered almost 10 GB off of my hard drive. I can't believe how much stuff gets cached. Anyway everything is running a bit smoother now.
It's free. It's snappy.

Getting Things Done: The Book

I just finished the book, Getting Things Done, by David Allen. I have to say that it is a very good book, a lot of it is common sense. However I like the specific examples on how to better organize yourself. David sites specifics that a lot of other books and websites lack. Hopefully I can follow through with the methods it teaches. My first task is to set aside a day or two and get it all organized. Which was my first wrong thought, I thought, in order to get something done, I had to organize it. Well the book teaches that is only the start. The other big thing that I took from GTD is that it's okay to organize it and not do it right then and there. Anyway even if I don't follow through 100% (which is also okay according to the book), it seems as though I definitely pulled some items away from this book that I will use a ton. This book has definitely changed the way that I look at things when approaching projects and even designs. For those of you tired of the chaos that has become this digital world, I would definitely give Getting Things Done a read through.
