A modification of the ever-popular Getting Things Done (GTD) system by Dave Allen, this one focuses on building the habits of organization and productivity one at a time.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/ririanproject.com\/\">Ririan Project<\/a> &#8211; A great blog if you haven&#8217;t already found it is Ririan&#8217;s website. It features a list of tips on different subjects for self-improvement. I did a guest post, <a href=\"http:\/\/ririanproject.com\/2007\/04\/15\/7-little-known-ways-to-drastically-improve-your-learning\/\">7 Little Known Ways to Drastically Improve Your Learning<\/a> a few days ago.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/ben.casnocha.com\/\">Ben Casnocha<\/a> &#8211; I&#8217;ve mentioned Ben a few times in articles, but I&#8217;ve never given his site a proper link. He&#8217;s a 19 year old entrepreneur and blogger. His writings are usually more thought-provoking than informative, which in an increasingly information dense world is rare.<\/p>\n<h2>From the Archives&#8230;<\/h2>\n<p>My archives are getting a bit bulky, nearing 300 articles. As part of Friday links I&#8217;d like to include a post from the archives you may have missed.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.scotthyoung.com\/blog\/2006\/05\/18\/learn-by-doing\/\">Learn By Doing<\/a> &#8211; Improvement comes from doing, not just reading.<\/p>\n<h2>From the Shelf&#8230;<\/h2>\n<p>A few weeks ago I finished reading Dale Carnegie&#8217;s bestselling book, <strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/redirect.html?ie=UTF8&amp;location=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.amazon.com%2FHow-Win-Friends-Influence-People%2Fdp%2F0671027034%3Fie%3DUTF8%26s%3Dbooks%26qid%3D1177084998%26sr%3D8-1&amp;tag=scottcom-20&amp;linkCode=ur2&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=9325\">How to Win Friends and Influence People<\/a><\/strong>. Although his specific tips for handling people may seem like common sense, there are some interesting points to reflect on. Here are a couple interesting points I got from the book:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Remember that a persons name is to that person the sweetest and most important sound in any language.<\/li>\n<li>Get the other person saying, &#8220;yes, yes&#8221; immediately.<\/li>\n<li>Ask questions instead of giving direct orders<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>You can get the book from Amazon here: <strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/redirect.html?ie=UTF8&amp;location=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.amazon.com%2FHow-Win-Friends-Influence-People%2Fdp%2F0671027034%3Fie%3DUTF8%26s%3Dbooks%26qid%3D1177084998%26sr%3D8-1&amp;tag=scottcom-20&amp;linkCode=ur2&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=9325\">How to Win Friends and Influence People<\/a><\/strong>. <!--noadsense--><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>From the Web&#8230; I&#8217;m starting a semi-regular Friday links feature for this blog, hopefully to point you towards some great personal development resources around the web, this site and on paper.
