- An overview of the Getting Things Done workflow. Many of the strategies presented in this webinar are inspired by David Allen’s work. http://bit.ly/ZqQIo
- You can use Greasemonkey to wrangle Google Apps interfaces to your liking, rather than forcing yourself to conform to the standard interfaces. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greasemonkey
