Saturday Snippets – 2005-05-28

Have you ever wondered how I collect the items for Saturday Snippets? Because I use Bloglines as my RSS aggregator, when a particular blog entry makes an impression on me I simply save it to my Clippings folder. On Saturday, I review this folder, blog about them, and then delete them from the Clippings folder. This is just one feature—if you aren’t using Bloglines, give it a try.

Maintaining Motivation
Jason Santa Maria realized some new challenges when he started working from home. The solutions that he found for these problems are good for all of us, however—even those who aren’t self-employed and/or working from home.

What Was That Keyboard Shortcut?
Michael Hyatt was one of my inspirations for making my decision to buy an iBook. Since I am still a relatively new Mac OS X user, I’m still looking for ways to be more productive. As with any notebook computer keyboard shurtcuts are much faster than the trackpad. KeyCue is a great tool to help one learn those Mac Keyboard shortcuts. If they can develop a Windows version it may become one of the greatest productivity apps ever.

Be A More Productive Blogger
Keith Robinson says that the biggest reason for his blog success is that he “writes fast”. I remember Isaac Asimov saying that he wrote fast too. Although I type at a decent speed, I don’t write very fast. I may never be able todo anything about that, but at least the other thirteen suggestions that he presents may prove to be useful. I’ve printed this out and put it in my tickler file so I will see it periodically.
