Visual Studio 2003 and 2005 Default Keyboard Shortcuts Cheat Sheet | Philosophical Geek

I wanted to have a quick-reference sheet available to help me learn the Visual Studio keyboard commands. Surprisingly, I couldn’t find a handy printable reference. So I made one. It doesn’t contain ALL the shortcuts. For that, you can go to the online reference or this code that prints out all of your existing shortcuts.
http://www.philosophicalgeek.com/downloads/Visual%20Studio%20Keyboard%20Shortcuts.pdf
If you just want a two-page reference sheet, handy to print front-to-back, to help you learn the shortcuts, download the PDF I created.

„Todo – Listen für mehr Produktivität“ auf karrierebibel.de – Jeden Tag mehr Erfolg!

Weitaus populärer sind aber sogenannte To-Do-Listen. Deshalb heute etwas mehr dazu: Ihr Sinn besteht vor allem im Selbstmanagement, indem anstehende Aufgaben gewichtet und nach Relevanz sortiert werden. So bekommt man sowohl eine Übersicht über den Arbeitsaufwand als auch über die Arbeiten selbst, beziehungsweise das, was bereits erledigt wurde. Ebenso sehen Sie sehr schnell, was Sie an einem Tag schaffen müssen beziehungsweise können und vermeiden so Überlastung oder Unterforderung. To-Do-Listen sind also beides: Plan und (Erfolgs-)Kontrolle.

18 Ways to Stay Focused at Work

Over the years I have worked at many client sites and a variety of office layouts. On one project in particular, we had as many as 80 people in a project team, seated via an open plan arrangement. It was pretty difficult trying to stay focused in an environment like this. These days, the projects I’m on are typically smaller, but there are still a number of distractions which frequently interrupt my working groove. So what are some of the things we can do to minimise such interruptions and distractions?

Here’s my list of 18 ways to stay focused at work

The Beginner’s Guide to Zen Habits - A Guided Tour | Zen Habits

While some of you have been following Zen Habits since its early days (beginning of 2007), many of you are fairly new readers. To help you through the fairly overwhelming archives, I’ve compiled a beginner’s guide. Kind of a Quick Start guide.

First, a note: Please don’t try to go through this all at once. There are days and days worth of reading here. I’ve just organized that so that you can go to the stuff you want to learn about first. Take it in small chunks. :)

Where do you start when you have a thousand posts to read through? You start with the best, or at least the most popular. So here they are: The All-Time Most Popular Posts on Zen Habits

The Voices of a Zany Kid » Paul Graham: “Gutes und schlechtes Aufschieben”

Die beeindruckendsten Menschen, die ich kenne, sind schreckliche Aufschieber. Kann es also sein, daß Aufschieben gar nicht so schlecht ist?

Die meisten Artikel zum Thema beschäftigen sich mit der Heilung der Prokrastination. Was aber genau betrachtet gar nicht möglich ist: Es gibt unendlich viele Dinge, die man zu einem gegebenen Augenblick tun kann. Egal, woran man arbeitet, man arbeitet nicht an all den anderen Dingen. Die Frage lautet also nicht, wie man Prokrastination vermeidet, sondern wie man richtig verzögert.

Es gibt drei Arten der Verzögerung, abhängig davon, was man stattdessen tut: (a) nichts, (b) etwas weniger wichtiges, oder (c) etwas wichtigeres. Meines Erachtens ist letztere eine gute Art des Aufschiebens.

Der “schusselige Professor” vergisst das Rasieren, das Essen oder sogar seine Umgebung beim Spaziergang, wenn er über eine interessante Fragestellung nachdenkt. Seine Gedanken fliehen den Alltag und stürzen sich freudig auf ein schwieriges Thema.

In diesem Sinne sind alle beeindruckenden Menschen, die ich kenne, Aufschieber. Sie sind Typ-C Aufschieber: sie vernachlässigen unwichtige Arbeit und beschäftigen sich lieber mit der wichtigen [großen/schwierigen] Sache.

Welche ‘unwichtigen’ Dinge? Grob gesagt: alles, was nicht in Deinem Nachruf berücksichtigt wird. Im Heute ist dies zwar schwer zu bestimmen (sei es Dein Magnus Opus über sumerische Tempel oder die Detektivgeschichte, die Du unter einem Pseudonym geschrieben hast), aber eine ganze Gruppe von Tätgkeiten kann getrost aufgeschoben werden: Rasieren, Wäschewaschen, Wohnung putzen, Dankesbriefe [heutzutage emails] — all dies fällt unter die Rubrik Botengänge.

Gutes Aufschieben vermeidet Botengänge zugunsten der eigentlichen Aufgabe.

Zumindest aus der eigenen Sicht. Die Auftraggeber der Botengänge sehen das sicherlich nicht so. Ihr Ärger läßt sich nicht vermeiden, um die wichtigen Aufgaben zu erledigen. Die augenscheinlich sanftesten Menschen entwickeln eine Tendenz zur Brutalität, um unnötige Botengänge zu vermeiden.

Einige solche Bote

Toodledo :: Forums :: Tips & Tricks :: Outlook automation to create Toodledo Task

I just found this site today (someone I work with swears by this site) and have setup a folder structure for my direct reports. Because a good percentage of my communication regarding assigning projects is done in outlook at work, I wanted to have a way to automatically update Toodledo with projects that I have assigned to my team.\n\nUsing rules in outlook, I set outlook to look for an email from me to me containing *[team member name] in the subject line and then have it redirect it to my secret toodledo email address. So, when I send an email to one of my staff requesting a project be completed, I will simply include *[team members name] along with a #2/21/09 for the due date in the subject of the email and will be sure to CC Me.\n\nOutlook will see an email from me to me and will see the *[team member name] and sends the email to toodledo, which assigns the task to the correct folder with the correct due date and includes the body of the email in the notes.\n\nExample:\n\nTo: Me\nSubject: Budget process gannt chart *Tom #2/27/09\n\nYou may have a more elegant way of doing this but this seems like a very low tech way to eliminate duplicate keying and ensure that I don't have to remember to swith over to toodledo to add the task.
