Todays Reccomendations

I spent the first half of the day playing cricket. With so much work pending at office I hurriedly biked to office. Only to find that I wanted to look at the firefox extensions. It started there and stopped at 7:00 PM. I surfed all through the time in the office. So couldnt find time for any work. From Firefox, I went to Performancing and from there to this Research Scientist in Google. So I will put up todays reccomendations.

1. Performancing (Search on Google)
2. http://emacspeak.sourceforge.net/
3. www.jeteye.com
4. http://www.guidingeyes.org/ (USA is horrible yar..see such a buisness idea..dogs for the blind)
5. http://emacspeak.sourceforge.net/raman/: T V Raman : the Google Reasercher (Every Computer Scientist should dream to be like him)
6. emacspeak (Chack on Google): This is Dr. Ramans Work
7. Little India : This is the largest circulated Indian Magazine in the US..

Finish tough tasks first.

This one is an old favourite with productivity gurus, and with good reason. Complete a difficult task first thing in the morning and it sets the tone for the rest of the day. Alternatively, laze around for the first two hours and you spend the rest of the day catching up.

Michael Masterson talks about setting aside an hour each morning to work on your most important life goal, and to do this before you start your regular work.

If you're writing a book and can't find time for it, fit it in at the top of your day. Not only will you still manage to get all your other work done, but you'll also feel a lot better and will actually end up finishing that book.
