Merlin Mann at 43 Folders sat down with Scott Underwood from IDEO (an amazing Industrial Design studio) for an hour long talk. They discussed a lot of productivity related subjects, like GTD (Getting Things Done). You can catch the video here:

We talked about Getting Things Done, life hacks, knowledge work, nostalgia for scarcity, and the problem of getting addicted to productivity advice, among many other topics. This one’s a tour de force.
I’d like to quickly recommend an excellent website, Lifehack.org. I ran across the site after a few of its posts have appeared on the front-page of Digg a few times. Man, I feel like I’ve really been missing out!From their own site description:
This site dedicated to lifehacks. The phrase describes any hacks, tips and tricks that get things done quickly by automating, increase productivity and organizing. This site is built around this theme. It is a frequently updated blog, which provides news and articles which able you to get things done in a faster pace.
Head over and take a look. It will be a new mainstay on my list of RSS feeds.
