I'm look into productivity and stuff like that. I see lukeprog so8res have some stuff on that. I saw a couple commentors recommend David Allen. Any recommendations on stuff to start with or books I should start reading? Thanks in advance

Also can anyone get the sequences by so8res and lukeprog in epub? I looked at the wiki where all teh sequences were in epub and didn't find them there. It would be really helpful if I could get them there.

Your Brain at Work is far and away the best productivity book I've ever read, at least for me. It's also recommended by CFAR.

Cool. Any advice on lectures to look at?

I am a fan of Cal Newport, whose advice is especially relevant in college.

What are you struggling with? What would you most like to improve about your productivity?

Stuff like focus and accomplishing tasks within a predetermined timeframe. Just being efficient in my work and more well-adjusted in society in general as well. The psychology of adjustment stuff lukeprog posted is really interesting to me.
