I’m enjoying reading about productivity and organization tips from fellow technology/pastor types like Todd Hiestand and Bob Hyatt (who also writes PastorHacks). These guys use some form of GTD, and I use some (light, shifting) form of GTD as well.

Here’s a quick tip that Todd shared a while back that I’m using these days. Like in 30 seconds, when I’m going heads-down to do nothing but writing book summary papers for my next class for grad school.

Todd says:

That means…

* The iPhone is off.
* E-Mail is off.
* AIM is off.
* Twitter is off.
* RSS Feedreader is off.
* And, if i am not needing to be online, the wireless connection is off
